Relief Pitcher DescriptionBaseball game with play-by-play announcer, and option of playing a standard baseball game or playing as a relief pitcher through a series of games. Doesn't use real teams or players but allows operator to choose up to 4 cities for players to select from. Keeps detailed statistics.Game PlayEach player can select the throwing arm, throwing motion (overhand or sidearm), and special pitch (sinker, etc.) for their pitcher. The three-button control allows each pitch to be a fastball, curveball, or special pitch and the joystick controls the location and movement. The batter can choose a standard swing, power swing, or bunt with the buttons. The player can choose to play a normal baseball game from start to finish or play as a relief pitcher, and finish up computer generated games starting in the 8th or 9th inning of each.MiscellaneousThe game offers an "All-Star" game after you make six relief appearances.SOUND: The announcer calls the plays as they happen. Curiously, when creating your pitcher, one of the special pitches you can choose from is a "Rising Fastball". Even an overhand pitcher can throw this pitch in a game. In reality, though, you can't throw a rising fastball, it is physically impossible.
