Hi Group,
I was also a paid user of World Series Baseball Special Edition. I never
heard of a Windows port of that program. I really wish there was one. I
did like that game more than the Kitchen game. The Kitchen game does
allow
pitching and hitting variability, but other than that it is totally
random.
You can change the players and the tea names in Kitchen's game, but
everything is random.
I did change things in the WSB Special edition and I am not sure how, but
changing the statistics in that game _does_ make a real difference.
For example, just to be silly, I put together a great team of all star
baseball players from all eras on one team and an imaginary team called
'The
Buffalo Blinks' (as in Buffalo, New York) consisting of all my local blind
friends--both men and women. I changed the batting and pitching stats for
the all star team and gave all the 'Blinks' high averages and low ERA for
the pitching. Needless to say, the 'Blinks'
slaughtered the All Stars in 4 games and by large scores. Again, I am not
sure just how at the DOS level, this fuzzy logic (which must have been
primitive at that early time) worked, but it was quite good. I really
miss
it.
I also miss the 'Any Night Football' which was a DOS game from (I think)
PCS
Games. That also seemed to work on the basis of statistics. For example,
you could schedule a game between 2 teams and pick plays and defense that
would reflect real life trends an tendencies and it _did_ make a
difference.
With Kitchen's football game, again, it is totally random. There is no
control.
If anyone knows where any of these games from the old days can be
downloaded
and used in Windows, I would greatly appreciate any information.

I agree, if world series baseball and Jim Kitchen's baseball could be
combined somehow then we could have the best of both worlds. I've
been told that you can change the player's names in Jim Kitchen's
game, but I'm not sure where to go to find all of the info that was in
the world series baseball game.

It is my understanding that a gentleman named Phil Vlassik, not sure
about the spelling, did make a Windows version of that game in the mid
to late 1990s. I did have the DOS version and loved it. I even created
teams of my own. The Jim Kitchen baseball game is probably the closest
thing to that now. The only thing that I didn't care for about WSBB was
that you actually did very little, and the computer basically played the
game. With the Jim Kitchen game, you actually get to pitch and hit, kind
of like the old Parker Bros. talking baseball game.

Rich -
If it ever was so converted, I never heard about it and I had been a
paid user of Harry's program right up to the time of his death and I
remained in contact with his son for some time thereafter.

Subject: [BlindTech] World Series Baseball Game for Windows
Many years ago, Harry Hollingsworth had a text-based World Series
Baseball game for DOS, which was intended for blind users. He passed
away many years ago, but I have heard that it was later converted for
Windows use. Does anyone know more about this Windows version?
