1/13/2024 0 Comments Apba baseball computer game review![]() Upon starting Radio Baseball the user is greeted by the Pre-Game Options menu. Through the magic of emulation I was able to spin up a series of Radio Baseball contests using DosBox. I hope to review the APBA game in the near future, however the Apple version is missing the flip side of the Team Disk and I don’t have the IBM (MS-DOS) version circa 1985. The simulation encompasses an array of statistical and strategy options that were only found in the rival product, “APBA Major League Players Baseball”. Radio Baseball eschews the graphical rendering of a ballgame in favor of re-creating the sensation of listening to an entire contest over the airwaves through the use of vivid play-by-play descriptions. Baseball video games that are strictly arcade representations of baseball (based solely on reflex and hand-eye coordination) are excluded. The series focuses on baseball simulations – games in which the primary emphasis is on managerial strategy and the ability to replay entire seasons with a degree of realism. This is the seventh entry in a series focusing on computer baseball simulations to supplement the chapter “ Play Retro Baseball Video Games In Your Browser” from my Hardball Retroactive book along with the corresponding post at Baseball Analytics. ![]()
