My god! This brings back a ton of memories! At the time, everyone had Atari and my brother and I got this one year for Christmas. I remember playing this game and thinking - graphics just can't get any better than this! Lol. Thanks for posting. Those were some great days....
I had both Atari and intellivision as hand me downs in the eighties... They each had theyre good games, I like the sports games for intellivision better... Skiing and horse racing were awesome too....
I remember my aunt had an unopened copy of this game and all I could do was look at the cover. It looked amazing and all I wanted to do was play it...of course after weeks of only being able to look I finally broke down and plug'd it in....it sucked. Back to Atari.
I REMEMBER IF YOU HIT THE BOTTOM OF THE DISC ,IT WAS A FAST BALL,HIT THE TOP AND ITS A SLOW BALL,BUT IF YOU GOT CREATIVE AND SPUN THE DISC IN YOUR HAND,YOU WOULD GET THE 5 MILE AN HOUR CURVE BALL!!! AND DOES ANYONE REMEMBER BEING IN THE MIDDLE OF A GAME,AND IT WOULD FREEZE IN BETWEEN INNINGS,AND ALL YOU WOULD GET WAS THE CHEERING? AND THEN BE TERRIFIED TO TOUCH THE CARTRIDGE AND RESET THE GAME?
I was the master of this game. As pitcher you could click # on controller to make the click sound as if throwing to first to check the runner then pitch. Double plays, cutoffs, pickles...the best Intellivision game. So, can I get it on my iPhone?
My friend had Intellivision. We used to play this all the time. He once bunted the ball and I decided to let it go. It went all the way to the top and became a homerun.
Great game great times back in the day! My cousin and I would play this game for hours thanks for the memories he was the expos I was the jays . Videogames are great now but this gameplay was amazing back then . I'm glad I was able to start out during the big gameing boom . Quarters lined up on the galaga and pacman machines at the local arcade it was a great time for sure !!!!
OMG Intellevision. I used to play this since the system came with a bunch of sports games. Baseball was our least fave, but I love seeing it again regardless.
I used to play this with my dad all the time. Then I got MLB for Nintendo....sad to say it, both of those I mentioned are better than 2k10 for the DS.
This game was actually pretty dumb once you figured the controls and got fairly quick with them. 90% of fielding could be done with the pitcher. Most hits could be grabbed either by an infielder or the right fielder, who could easily throw the runner out at first, even from the right field wall. If both players were competent, only way to really get a hit was to thread the ball between shortstop and pitcher, and even then, it could only be a single. So you could only hit singles or homers.
this is the best baseball title i ever played. Even with today's advanced graphics, this classic is tops for me.
On defense, I would stick the second basemen right on the bag since the pitcher always shifted to that open space after the pitch is delivered. You pull more double plays that way on hard grounders.
1:27 C'mon, the pitcher should have caught that!!When your pitching you keep your right thumb on the 5 pitcher button and your left hand on shortstop!Any help here??We used to play this game for days and after we all got as good as each other it was kick ass!
I think I was about 5 when I first played this game with my older brother. 20-some-odd years later, I could still remember the "Yer Out" sound. Just thought to look it up today! lol. Ah, refreshing! Such a classic and I remember now that the sound was startling to me as a 5 year-old. Ha!
My bro and I still do that "Rgyeroowwgt!" noise to each other when the other says something stupid. Haha
I threw 2 perfect games against my friend Tom Humeston. He soon stopped playing against me. He nearly had a fit when he hit one of the wall in left center, my center fielder through to short and I threw him out at first. Happened both games. Awesome memory.
The thing I remember about this game was how tempermental the damn buttons were! Sometimes you'd have to press 50 times to have the guy throw to 1st base.
It was a fun game but I remember once in a while the baseball could go off the screen and there was no way of getting it back so you would have to quit the whole game.
I played this all the time when I was a kid, but there were some serious fundamental flaws. Once you learned how to control the fielders, the only possible way to get a hit was to thread it between short and center. Anywhere else, and an infielder could nab it (quite often, the pitcher) and toss it to first, resulting in an automatic out.
Even if you hit it there, you could never get a double or a triple. You had to be lucky enough to get a homer, or 4 hits in a row, to score.
Too bad there was no way to knock the ball "out of the park" as opposed to the ball getting hung up in the scoreboard lol. It was however the best we had at the time. Thanks for posting this vid...lots of good memories!! =)
The crowd noise was almost "exciting" when I was like 6. And the "boing" noise when a ball would be lodged in the fence. I don't believe you could play the computer, and I remember trying to operate both controls for a game.
The full swing of the batter looked like the old Chi-White Sox logo.
I had this game in 1980 and was very good at it. The people playing in in this clip are not. Also had an addiction to Astrosmash and turned it off at 3:00 am one night with hundreds of lasers in reserve - never played another video game.
Colico also had some great controllers back in the day. Intellivision Astrosmash was so simple but very good. When the score got up into the hundreds of thousands, anyone watching couldn't follow what was happening on screen but somehow your mind could sort it out - kind of a trance like state. Baseball was the game.
You're not kidding; I would've busted the scoreclock on these clowns 20+ years ago.
I remember my best friend and I played each other to a 15-inning scoreless game, only for him to finally punch one across the plate. Simpler times but to us, that was the F'N World Series....
My brother and I used to play this game for hours, and make up names for the players of our imaginary teams. Those were the days. Gotta love the simulated "You're out!"
Actually they did when the re-did the game for the ECS. 'world series baseball' allowed both ECS and Intellivoice to be used in what was in effect an overlayed game of this classic baseball cart.
Huh....you mean the same crowd that attended all of the Intellivision football games cheered on the baseball, too! I can hear that same pesky kid with the horn!
I love the fact the player is just throwing round the old ball - I forgot how we used to "be hot" with the fast double and triple play action and throwing the ball around the bases after plays. Man, that game rocked!
We'd set out line ups and play the dodgers vs. the reds. Cey, Garvey, Foster, Bench, and Hough. Jeez.
Thanks for all the comments on my Activision Classics videos, SuperPCEngineGrafx. Now, I shall give the occasional comment on some of your Intellivision videos, since I was thinking about doing so anyway. Sources say that the Intellivision came out in 1979, but seeing that this game came out in 1978, who knows what the correct year could be, and that would mean that VH1 would be very, very wrong.
See, they have this special that shows every once in a while called I Love the 80's (they also have I Love the 90's and I Love the 70's) and made three different versions of it. The Intellivision was featured in the 1980 part of I Love the 80's in 3-D. I think they did it because they ran out of room to put it in I Love the 70's, since they did this sort of thing to Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!! and put it in 1988 instead of 1987.
There was also a snippet in it that had the Baseball commercial that compared the Atari Baseball game to the Intellivision Baseball game, too. You've played a good game of it. You scored four points and did a pretty good job of chasing/tagging out the visiters. I also liked how you've played "Catch the Ball" for a little. The out and ball-fly-out-far-field sounds are also quite fasinating. The Intellivision IS pretty intelligent, I think. It's a fine system.
As someone whom owned the Intellivision back in the 80's (and was about 10 at the time), I can honestly say this game ruled. Best out there. Hard to believe, but true!
Amazing how you can see the molecules inside the beads of sweat behind the guys ears. Perfect physics. And perfect sound syncing. Better than the current baseball video games. /sarcasm
Tanks for da memories. Brother and I too much of this but so cool at the time. After awhile the only runs scored were from the homer just to the left of the second baseman.
I used to play this for hours with my brothers fromm the early to the late 80's. A version came out after this that had "fly balls" that you could catch for outs.
me and my brother found an old intellivision with alot of games in the basemant at our dad some years ago, we tried all of the games but the only one we liked was Baseball, that game is so hillarious
I just dusted my intellivision off last weekend and played some of the games with my 6 year old. She loved this baseball one. I used to be able to lay out the controllers on the floor and play each controler with a hand. I always wondered why they didn't give you an option of playing against the game.
LOL My brother and I used to play this for hours on end. A lot of games ended 1-0, we were that good at it. The robotic "Yer out!" sounds kinda creepy now...
I used to play this game at my friends house but seeing this video made me wonder. Was it possiblt to actually catch a ball "On the fly" for an out or did you have to wait for it to stop then pick it up. Was everything a tag play or strike out?
Its true and I thought that it would stay a little known fact among Intv fans, but even Electronic Gamining Monthly has started mentioning their greatness occassionally.
HAHAH that game was off the chain,that blue guy was like mike tyson he'd whoop you in the first round then get tired real quicc,me and my friends always use to have the red and blue guy fight (early blood and crip war haha) yell
It sure isn't Boxing on the Atari 2600. In that game, there is an overhead perspection with a white and a black boxer beating each other up. When one player gets 100 hits on the other, the match ends with a KO or if times runs out, the player who accumulated the most hits is the winner. The game ends either way.
My god! This brings back a ton of memories! At the time, everyone had Atari and my brother and I got this one year for Christmas. I remember playing this game and thinking - graphics just can't get any better than this! Lol. Thanks for posting. Those were some great days....

I used to play this for hours with my brothers fromm the early to the late 80's. A version came out after this that had "fly balls" that you could catch for outs.

I just dusted my intellivision off last weekend and played some of the games with my 6 year old. She loved this baseball one. I used to be able to lay out the controllers on the floor and play each controler with a hand. I always wondered why they didn't give you an option of playing against the game.

LOL My brother and I used to play this for hours on end. A lot of games ended 1-0, we were that good at it. The robotic "Yer out!" sounds kinda creepy now...

I used to play this game at my friends house but seeing this video made me wonder. Was it possiblt to actually catch a ball "On the fly" for an out or did you have to wait for it to stop then pick it up. Was everything a tag play or strike out?

Its true and I thought that it would stay a little known fact among Intv fans, but even Electronic Gamining Monthly has started mentioning their greatness occassionally.

We played this constantly when I was young. This and Boxing were some of the best games ever.

Boxing was also great with the #3 guy having great stamina. That guy could go 15 rounds and be knocked down about 100 times and still get up.

It sure isn't Boxing on the Atari 2600. In that game, there is an overhead perspection with a white and a black boxer beating each other up. When one player gets 100 hits on the other, the match ends with a KO or if times runs out, the player who accumulated the most hits is the winner. The game ends either way.

It's still the best Baseball game ever made and one of the best sports games as far as I'm concerned.
