Star League Baseball

Any game which allows you to "bring in knuckleball throwing reliever when your starter tires" has to be American.

And Star League Baseball is just that - very American.

Most people have a rough idea of the aims behind baseball, but the expressions and instructions on this game left me perplexed and confused.

Just what is a "knuckleball" or "reliever"? What is the point of a "high slider", "a medium screwball" or a "slow sinker"?

After having played the game, I still have no idea.

Having said that, the graphics of the game are very good and the animation of the players, batsman and pitcher are excellent.

The instructions for the game are very comprehensive but it would have been a help to have some of the more exotic terms explained.
