includes a Ballpark card.
For the initial offering of Time Travel Baseball, I wanted to present it in the
form that Stanley Frohlich intended, and that is to offer several players of
varying abilities. Your skill as a general manager in composing a team with a
salary limit will ultimately be the deciding factor in winning and losing. In
the near future we will offer full seasons. But, I wanted to pay tribute to
Stanley with our initial offering.
That’s not to say that I haven’t implemented a few changes in the new game. For
one, I’ve included Ball Park effects. This adds an additional element of
strategy as you build your team. You’ll tailor your team’s hitters and pitchers
to your stadium, just like the real life general managers. I have also
introduced new ratings and have fine-tuned card creation formulas. You’ll also
see catcher’s and outfielder’s throwing arms have a great deal more impact with
the latest version of the game.
All-in-all I have meticulously strived to keep a balance between adding more
modern elements to the game, while keeping everything that makes Time Travel
Baseball unique. Most importantly, I have kept the game’s strengths which are
speed of play and pure fun factor.
Below you'll find several samples from the game.
