Eric7100 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 How many baseball games were made for the Intellivision with unique box titles? I'm counting five... Major League Baseball Big League Baseball (a variant of Major League Baseball, after licensing expired) World Series Major League Baseball Super Series Big League Baseball (a variant of World Series Major League Baseball, after licensing expired) World Championship Baseball Was a box ever printed that just said "Baseball"? If so, that would be six unique box titles. Can this be confirmed with a photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cvga Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 What is the original Sears version of baseball called? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric7100 Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) What is the original Sears version of baseball called? I'm not a big Sears guy, so I always forget to factor those in. I assume it was just called "Baseball"? Edited June 15, 2016 by Eric7100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric7100 Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) Is this baseball box legit (the one simply titled "Baseball")? Does anyone here have one? Edited June 15, 2016 by Eric7100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utopia Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Thats the way they came out in Australia as well as all the other sports titles. Since the American sporting affiliations were not relevant here the printing was changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Yep the PAL land version came with just the Baseball title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric7100 Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 So, the correct answer to my question (excluding the Sears baseball game) is six: Baseball Major League Baseball Big League Baseball (a variant of Major League Baseball, after licensing expired) World Series Major League Baseball Super Series Big League Baseball (a variant of World Series Major League Baseball, after licensing expired) World Championship Baseball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric7100 Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) Is there any way to get a copy of the Intellivision game with the box just titled "Baseball"? There's none on eBay Australia. I have all the other Intellivision baseball games. Edited June 15, 2016 by Eric7100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Not sure if you include the French Canadian bilingual box plus I'd say the Sears version with its unique artwork makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric7100 Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) Not sure if you include the French Canadian bilingual box plus I'd say the Sears version with its unique artwork makes sense. But I was inquiring just about unique box titles, not unique box artwork. So if the PAL version and the Sears version are both called "Baseball," then that's one unique title.

mr_me Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) "Super Video Arcade Baseball" "Le Baseball de la Ligue Majeure" --------------------- Sears "Baseball" would be the Atari game. Is there any way to get a copy of the Intellivision game with the box just titled "Baseball"? There's none on eBay Australia. I have all the other Intellivision baseball games.They were likely sold that way everywhere outside of North America Thats the way they came out in Australia as well as all the other sports titles. Since the American sporting affiliations were not relevant here the printing was changed.Could it have been due to limited licensing?

+intellivotion Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) Is this baseball box legit (the one simply titled "Baseball")? Does anyone here have one? BTW, and for those who care, to my knowledge only 1 version of the International non-English edition of "Baseball" exists (for sure with slots in the back; possibly without slots too) and has only the 2 screenshots and no text in the back. In that edition one can find the manual in Italian (b&w, light blue), French, German, Japanese, Dutch, possibly Spanish, possibly Swedish. No idea if an International English edition exists. Is this pic a fake? Or is it the unseen (at least by me) International English edition? Edited June 15, 2016 by intellivotion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two for sale from Italy. But the one in the pic above (presumably the International English edition)... I would also like to know if it's real or fake.

+intvsteve Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Well, that image is not from a real box - it looks like a mock-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric7100 Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 Cmart... or any other resident experts... is there an International English edition, as suggested by the mock-up box art above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever designed that box mixed up screenshots from World Championship Baseball. Mattel did develop both games, but didn't release the latter.

+intellivotion Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 You are right! Those 2 screenshots are from WC Baseball, not from ML Baseball, lol Good eye! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric7100 Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 OK... based on the previous two posts, and the fact that Cmart didn't reply, I am going to assume that there never was an International English edition of "Baseball" released by Mattel.

A typical case of probatio diabolica Another clue of its inexistence: as for Checkers/Draughts, if an International English edition existed, it would be called Cricket or World Cricket League (lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
