Hardball! is a baseball game that was first released on the Commodore 64 in 1985.
+ Gameplay is intuitive with easy-to-use controls, and there's a wide array of pitch types to keep opposing hitters off-balance.+ Impressive number of options in terms of infield / outfield player position, stat-based substitutions, and D.H. choice.
+ The umpire's "Strike!" call (complete with written text next to his sprite) is a really great presentational touch.
+ Graphics are top-notch with lots of background detail and superb player animations.
- Only includes two teams (Champs Vs All-Stars), so the difficulty level can be somewhat overwhelming to newcomers.
- Takes forever for an outfielder to throw the ball back to the infield, and runners move very slowly around the bases.
- Your defensive players are unable to chase airborne foul balls, which results in missed outs.
