The guys from Champ Games have begun working on a new homebrew title for the Atari 2600 called Champ Baseball! The game is in very early development and there are no binaries yet there are are some images of the game.
Their plans for Champ Sports Baseball include:
Multiple built-in teams (16 is the current # we're hoping to include), including unique team colors, lineups, etc.
- Team editor for name/uniform colors, etc.
- Different field types (artificial turf vs. grass)
Multiple game modes
- Exhibition mode: play with any two teams
- Tournament mode: choose a team and compete in a tournament-style march to the championship!
- Practice mode: hone your skills with batting, fielding and pitching practice
Multiple play modes:
- 1 player vs. computer
- 2 players vs. and team modes
Multiple screen views:
- Pitcher/catcher
- Infield view
- Multiple outfield views (left, left center, center, right center and right field)
Other:
- Double and triple plays
- Infield fly rule
- Bunts, sacrifice flies
- Steals, hit and runs, pickoff plays, pitch outs
- Left/right handed pitchers and batters, plus switch hitters
- Player skills (throwing, fielding, hitting, running)
