MMMC - Baseball Stars 2 (Neo Geo) / Break for a week (post 7)

[scooterb23]

Ummm... somewhere between the 30 minutes I spent making the post for the game early Monday, and 3 minutes ago...I swear I thought I already posted this thread.

Well, since all that work is gone. I'm not going to redo it. Play Baseball Stars 2, don't forget the Neo Geo BIOS if you need it.

If you need the ROMS, Flack's got them at http://www.robohara.com/mameclub/

Sorry about that. PLAY BALL!

And remember, if you ever want to go back and play some of the other games from the club, just search MMMC, and they should pop up.

my favorite baseball game ever. The graphics were great back then and still look decent today. I like the fact that the game doesn't get too caught up in technical aspects and mechanics. It is fast paced and fun. I always wished they came out with a third part for the newer systems.

It was about the same as any other baseball video game I've played.
Out!
Out!
Foul!
Out!
Change sides
Home Run!
Home Run!
Out! "Hey, my guy actually cought one!"
Home Run!

OK, so it's not that bad but by the 6'th inning loosing 7 to zero I had to call it quits. I'm just not good at the timing involved for this sort of thing. Even with the bigger bat power up. Any hints to this game?

The only baseball game I've ever been good at was Baseball on the Gameboy. I've tried playing Baseball Stars on many occassions and just fail each time. The other week I managed to last 2 minutes on my quarter at one of the local arcades, with a 3-0 loss in that time! I respect those players that can slaughter this game.

I do really enjoy this game. I'm pretty decent at it, as well. I can't win 500-0 or anything like that, but usually a good solid 7-2 game.

I can't say I have real tips on how to do better, I do feel like there is a bit of randomness to the whole thing. I just seem to be able to hit 'em where they ain't.

Overall, it's a fun arcade game, but still nowhere near as good as the original Baseball Stars on the NES. The whole build a team, and make you own player options push it over the top.

Strange how it times out on you. Got two runs in my first at-bat ever though (homer batted in a run) and a jumping catch on a low fly to 2B.

I like how the Australian team is named "Aussies - Thunder." Can't you hear, can you hear that thunder? I played as the Bisons though.

For next week I nominate Data East's Fire Trap!

Just giving a heads up that tomorrow's game may be a few hours late (I know, I know) but I've been trying to fight off a nasty little cold bug. So I'm going to try and sleep in a bit. The game will still get out, it just may not be in the morning.

Take it easy folks.

Forget what I said, I don't have it in my this week to do a game. I'm battling a nasty cold (at least I hope that's all it is) so enjoy a few days off. If you get a jones, search for MMMC and play some of the older games again. We'll get back on track next Monday.

That's okay because the Napoli Angels have a new lineup this year.

I actually have a Baseball Stars Professional MVS cartridge that came with my Neo Geo cabinet. To this day, I have played it a grand total of one time.
