Baseball: The Season II

Step up to the plate in Baseball: The Season II, a two-player sports arcade game released by Cinematronics in 1987. This title continues the baseball series that began with World Series - The Season, and precedes later installments like Super Baseball Double Play Home Run Derby. Two players face off, each controlling an entire team and maneuvering their players to field hits, pitch strikes, and steal bases. Players use a joystick to direct their fielding actions and select pitches, aiming for strategic plays across nine innings. The game presents a straightforward baseball experience with detailed graphics utilizing a palette of over one thousand colors on a horizontal screen. Programmed primarily using Zilog Z80 processors and enhanced by General Instrument sound chips, Baseball: The Season II provides an authentic feel to the classic pastime. Featuring contributions from artists like Dana Christianson and programmers such as Medo Moreno, this title delivers competitive baseball action for two players seeking a challenging arcade experience.
