Jun Kazama Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 i saw a review of home run on the special back in time screen savers episode its a real game i think its pretty common i dont believe its a rare but its definatly a real game. i bet if you went to the screen savers site and went thro all the episodes you could find that one and read about it i dunno much about it tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE146 Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Man Home Run gets a bad rap but back in the day it wasn't *so* bad. I remember coming back from Little League and challenging my brother for a quick 9 innings.. ok ok so it wasn't the greatest. But it WAS playable, which was more than you could say about a lot of other games oh and I don't know what the heck SuperSaiyan4GO is talking about as I only know of only one Home Run. How does it look different. Can you describe the cartridge label and if you can play it, what does it look like. For example.. Is it a BASEBALL game that you have? More details guy, more details.

Nukey Shay Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Uh...Homerun was one of the reasons people turned to the dark side (Intellivision) when they wanted to play sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smf_4ever Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 Homerun is still kinda fun... (homerun has more gameplay that ET... come on.......) and the little guys are funny (esp. after one too many Jagermeister shots)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 Anyone remember the George Plimpton commercials where Home Run and Atari Football get DISGRACED on national tv by comparing them to Intellivision's versions of the sport? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Player Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Home Run is like stickball. Sure, it's not as good as playing baseball, but it's better than nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckandCover Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Home Run is like...nevermind. If you can't say anything nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 That'd make a terrific commercial... Kirby Puckett for Home Run baseball... "It's beter than nothing, sport fans." ...much like Kirby. j/k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris++ Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 No way!! I love E.T. It's a great adventure game. So what if you had to read the instructions? Home Run, on the other hand, only offers anything even approaching "fun" if you forget altogether that it's supposed to be a simulation of Baseball.

Pitfall Harry Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 What I know about 6502 assembly code couldn't fill a thimble. But even I could write a better game than Skeet Shoot, using nothing but NOP instructions. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapdash Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 NOP NOP NOP [...] add header files & ORG, assemble, pad to 4K better than Skeet Shoot! (at least I believe that's what he had in mind) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
