RealSports Baseball
• EASTER EGG: At the menu, enter 22732255 on the keypad (which spells out “BASEBALL” on a standard phone keypad). The message “BY JAMES ANDREASEN AND KEITHEN” will appear at the bottom (picture #1). {Keith "Keithen" Hayenga}
• At least 4 different prototype versions exist, all with varying levels of completeness (lacking voice or having different voice, different title screens, limited options, etc.).
• The “RealSports” moniker was added after the game was completed, which is why it’s not mentioned anywhere onscreen.
• A version called Barroom Baseball exists that is essentially a modified version of RealSports Baseball intended for coin-op use.
• The computer AI doesn’t always make the best decisions. If there’s 1 or more runners on base, many times an infielder will get the ball and instead of tagging out a runner for an easy out - even if the runner is right next to them) - they’ll simply throw to a base to get the lead runner out (see video).
• Unlike home plate, you often can reach second base if the throw is close.
• The maximum number of runs you can score is 99. The counter doesn’t roll over.
• BUG: When a team takes or leaves the field, there’s an area below the bottom of the home plate area where they won’t appear (picture #3), but the ball will!
• BUG: When a batter takes the field and approaches home plate, he’s a solid color (red or blue) in the area where players normally don’t appear (picture #4).
• BUG: When you hit a home run and you have a man on 1st or a man on 1st and 2nd, your batter will run to 1st base and stop and wait until the man on 1st reaches 3rd base (video #1). {Scott Stilphen}
• BUG: The ump starts calling out before the ball even touches the catcher. Plus the runner's lead foot doesn't touch home plate first, his other leg does (picture #5 and video #2).
