Another quantum leap in console baseball games.

Graphics: 4 Sound: 4 Replay Value: 4 Notes: ECS required, IntelliVoice optional. Quantum leap in video baseball! Rates highly due to innovations. Screen Shots

Just when you thought the console market had reached the pinnacle of baseball games, along comes World Series Major League Baseball. I recall seeing the Plimpton ad touting this game - I was stunned! OK, the graphics were not as good as Coleco's Super Action Baseball (or whatever it was called), but there were so many cool things done in this game! Consider:

• Play-by-play color commentary via IntelliVoice
• Multiple camera angles
• Player statistics based on actual players (though the names were changed)
• Picture-in-picture views for runners on base

I want to play this game more than I have so far. It took me 18 years to finally get it! The graphics are an odd combination of 2-D and 3-D, and, one might argue, worse than the other Intellivision baseball variants. The sound is a treat, exploiting the extra three channels introduced by the ECS to have the typical stadium music and background noise in place for the game. Truly a masterpiece of Intellivision gaming for the baseball aficionado!
