DESCRIPTION

The JTFLSTORY core now covers one more game:

History

Baseball game released by Taito in 1984. The game uses the names of Japanese professional baseball teams of the time. Players who were active on their respective teams at the time also appear but with slightly different names. The batter and pitcher zoom screen was quite novel at the time, and it was a fairly authentic baseball game where the batting average and defence percentage also changed as players could be switched. However, the controls were not easy, requiring the use of an eight-way lever and six buttons.

Controls

Offence

When the pitcher throws the ball, the hitter should move the lever down to where the X mark has turned red and use the C button to hit the ball at the right moment.

To sacrifice bunt or drag bunt, press the C button briefly.

To advance a runner to base, press the button for the base you want to advance

To return all runners who are stealing or running to their original base, press A button.

Press C button before the batter stands in the batter's box to change the batter or the pitcher. Select the player you want to replace using the lever and A button.

Defence

The pitcher selects the course of the pitch with the lever and presses one of the base buttons; for a curve and shoot, straight, curve and shoot or fork while the speed bar moves up and down three times.

The infielder's catch is automatic, but the outfielder's catch is moved by operating the lever and pressing the C button.

To send the pitch to base, press the button for the base you want to send the pitch to

It has taken some effort to figure out what the many buttons were used. We still have to map the right names to the buttons in the core, though.
