Commodore 64 Street Sports Baseball
Product Information
The STRE SPORT BASEL is a baseball game that offers all the
hard-hitting action of real baseball. It is available for
Commodore, IBM, and Apple computers. The game is played on a
split-screen format that gives a close-up of the action and a
bird’s eye view of the entire field simultaneously. The computer
automatically keeps score, and players have nine innings to prove
their team the champs of the neighborhood.
