Editor note
Game as an action mode (play typical 1-2 player baseball) and management mode (typical sports manager except with 2-player option)
When played on a VGA card in EGA mode, there was a setting that allowed the game to use VGA colors by directly addressing the registers of the card (bypassing the card's BIOS). This actually allows faster animations than using VGA mode. VGA mode was not supported even if VGA cards were. On a pre-VGA card, this setting was not available and the EGA colors were black, yellow, green, and red (same as CGA mode). MCGA mode shows 256 colors; but of course not many people ever had MCGA.
