World Series Major League Baseball.txt
Press [RESET]. You're back to the title screen. Press [A] on your keyboard and
you control the AMERICAN LEAGUE - "Computer is NL." Press the [SPACE BAR] once
to get the SCOREBOARD MENU and press the [SPACE BAR] again to start the game.
The AMERICAN LEAGUE is up to bat and the NATIONAL LEAGUE takes the field. This
time you control the AMERICAN LEAGUE (red) and the computer controls the
NATIONAL LEAGUE (blue).
BATTING
Automatically, the AT BAT screen appears with the pitcher's statistics and the
batter's statistics. You should carefully consider both. Then you know what kind
of pitcher you'll be facing and the type of batter you're controlling. When
you're ready, press the [SPACE BAR] once more and the pitcher goes into his
windup. Swing your bat by pressing the disc. The level at which you swing the
bat is determined by which point on the disc you press.
You must press the outside edge of the disc to control the swing level. You must
time it just right to get a hit. You can't possibly hit pitches that are outside
the strike zone, so wait until the pitch is right where you want it. You can't
swing the bat until the ball gets halfway to you. The bat will shift slightly to
indicate when you can swing. If you try to swing by holding down the disc early,
then the batter won't swing at all. Keep practicing until you hit the ball well
enough to get on base. If you don't make it on your first three batters, restart
the game and try it again. Once you get on base, you can practice baserunning.
BASERUNNING
Now you're on base, so learn to make it count. Press the right side of the disc
to run to the next base. Press the left side of the disc to run back to the
previous base. Forced runners automatically run to the next base whenever you
hit the ball. But if you press the disc, it will override the computer to
control the leading runner. Once you decide to use the DISC, you're in control
until the runner reaches the base. Once you stop pressing the disc, the runner
stops. You can't rely on the computer to help out.
PLAY BALL!
You're now ready to start a game. Press [RESET]. Choose your game:
[C] - Watch the computer paly ("Computer Demo")
[A] - You play AMERICAN LEAGUE ("Computer is NL")
[N] - You play NATIONAL LEAGUE ("Computer is AL")
[SPACE BAR] - Play against a friend ("Two Players")
Press the [SPACE BAR] and the players take the field. PLAY BALL!

THE FINER POINTS OF THE GAME
OFFENSE STEAL
While a runner is on base, press either upper side (STEAL) button on the hand
controller and the runner tries to steal the next base. The STEAL button is
included so you can control more than one runner at the same time. The DISC only
controls the lead runner. So, for a double steal, press the [STEAL] button
twice. STEAL can also be used to extend a base, once you reach it.
SLIDE
Slide into a base by pressing either lower side (SLIDE) button just before you
reach the base. If you use the SLIDE button before reaching first base, you can
overrun first base just like real baseball. This allows you to reach first base
