Notes

Licensed game endorsed by 1980s/90s American Major League Baseball and NFL football all-star Bo Jackson (aka Vincent Edward Jackson) in the USA.


TRIVIA: Originally scheduled for release in 1990, Cinemaware was unhappy with the first incarnation of TV SPORTS BASEBALL developed and opted for a rewrite. Nevertheless, the first version developed was released on PC later that same year by SSI as TONY LARUSSA BASEBALL, and became one of the best-selling baseball games of the 1990s.

Conversion Notes
