Intelligentleman Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I'm having an oddly hard time finding the manual for this game. I just want to read it and see if there's any new gameplay features that weren't in the first Baseball game. Most of the upgrades, aside from being able to play 1 player (finally!), seem cosmetic.

+DZ-Jay Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 The late Mr. Robinson published PDF copies of the manuals of all games included in the Intellivision Flashback, along with images of the overlays, for reference. I managed to track a snapshot of the page in Archive.org: https://web.archive.org/web/20170316030545/http://www.intellivisiongames.com/flashback_games.html The specific one for World Championship Baseball is: https://web.archive.org/web/20160406171630/http://www.intellivisiongames.com/flashback_instructions/wc_baseball.pdf I admit I did not search the new BSR site to see if they have been published there. @BSRSteve, are these available in the new BSR site; and if not, could they be? -dZ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were several things I didn't know you could do in this game. Like repositioning outfielders. Not sure if that was in the original Baseball game from a few years prior or not, but it's cool! I also didn't understand how the skill setting can affect the gameplay. I'm going to try it on 2 or 3 next. And then 4 or 5 when I play it in 2-player mode.

mr_me Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 One of the goofy features of this cartridge is controlling the ball after it's left the pitcher's hand. But only for a two player game and only in the top two skill levels. Repositioning fielders was a new feature. Does anybody use this? All the hitters have the same characteristics.

Zendocon Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I prefer the scanned manuals posted at Annarchive. The transcribed one left out the disclaimer on the back cover, which still cracks me up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
