This is probably the worst NES game I've ever played. It's going to take an iron will to even finish a game out for a pic

i'm pretty sure if you want second to run to third its up+b you press
 


I think it's up,up,down,down,left,right,left,right,B,A,start.


Only if you want your score disqualified

Play Mutant Virus or black box Volleyball and you'll appreciate this one.

Point at the runner with the d-pad and press B to advance a base. So for a runner on second you want to advance to third, press Up for the runner on second and press B to advance to third.

Also when pitching the d-pad determines what kind of pitch you throw.

To advance to the next base (works for base stealing too), you hit B and the base the player is on.  To go back to the base, you hit A and the base you want the player to go back to.  To move all runners forward, it's B and down.

It would be funny to see the first place score be a 21-2 loss. Haha.

No problem!    I'm in the habit of looking at NES manuals when playing something unfamiliar.  It's starting to pay off!

I normally don't like to use emulators, but seeing a score posted on a PSP made me think this is a good week for that.  I can play baseball while I watch the Pirates.   Hmmm...

Even I think Volleyball is terrible. It's almost impossible to score a point, let alone actually win a game.

I played a match and lost all 3 games. 15-0,15-0,15-1. Haha. Too bad training mode isn't the actual game. It'd be pretty decent then.

Haha,I figured I'd change my tune shortly. It's tough for me to hate on a game for long although feel free to change to another baseball game anyway,I'm good at most of them.  

And photobucket is being reliable as usual. (rolls eyes)

+8 (14-6)



I am sure I have mentioned this before, but I absolutely hate this game.  My dad would torture me as a child and require we play this every night.  I was having a great game until the bottom of the 9th, should be a +12 score.  Oh well.

Edit: another image just for a better picture of score:

Paaaaper!  Have you ever seen paper?  Look at it, smell it!

Updated my score with a nice shutout.  Finally got some hitting going.  I need to be more consistent though since I'm still relying on one big inning.

I've only been able to win a game of Volleyball once. It was way easier pitching a perfect game in Baseball.
