NES Baseball - Game 4 - Dusty Diamond's All-Star Softball (1990)


Though it is missing the celebrity endorsement of Screech, Dusty Diamond's All-Star Softball is a solid game. All the characters resemble caveman with bike shorts.

Not too much to say really, it is a good game and well balanced. The gameplay is good and overall is pretty "fair" (especially compared to Roger Clemens). You select your team based solely off name and face, so there isn't any real indication of player strength before the game. However, unsurprisingly, "Diablo" is a ringer.

You get to choose your stadium, which is nice. We chose to play on a cliff, which had a bunch of rocks in right field and and a fence that balls can trickle through.



Results:

Stephen (Cajuns):
Tyler

Best: The stupid faces and names of the players make selecting a team a joy.

Worst: Tyler's walk off double in the bottom of the ninth.
