CincYnoTi Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I was digging through storage again looking for the next set of stuff to sell. I came across some PAL games and among them was this gem: 7800 Baseball by HES. It's the same game as the 7800 NTSC Pete Rose Baseball. Next to it was the 2600 HES version with the picture label. And here is the thread from 2002 when I found this game: https://atariage.com/forums/topic/13041-7800-hes-baseball-pete-rose-found/?tab=comments#comment-128089 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+slx Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Interesting as the overlap between PAL and baseball playing countries is probably small. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uglyclone Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I can handle the name change, and taking Pete Rose rose off the cover art (licensing reasons I'm sure)..but replacing him with a generic St. Louis Cardinal can't be justified in my Ohio heart.

Synthpopalooza Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 That was about the time ol' Pete got done for betting on baseball, right? He would have been persona non grata about that time ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseball is played in Australia in wintertime. That's about the only one, apart from parts of South America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete's betting = bad. Pete's batting = great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still my favorite joke shes ever made. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
