I don't know how often @vinnis1_PSN reads the forum, but he is one of the most knowledgeable people I have met for hardware. He's the one that put me on the right track a few years ago and showed me where to find good information. Hopefully, he will see this and chime in.

Vinny is leaving on a cruise today. Might be a week before he sees this.

311 3 3 11 yes was on the band 311s cruise anyway id start here for info..... https://www.rtings.com/monitor

Love this post! I'm with the rest of you, 43 year old Dad of 2 here. Been playing baseball games since I was very young on the old Intellivision which I believe rivaled Atari at the time. From there graduating to Nintendo and so and and so on. Like some others have mentioned I loved the old game Baseball Stars. Fake teams and fake players but the ability to play a season and track stats and all that was awesome. I did the same as someone else said too, playing RBI baseball and tracking my own stats. My friends and I used to play seasons and track are stats and all that kind of stuff. At one point we even made up a D and D (Dungeons and Dragons) type dice based baseball game. We would have drafts and form teams with baseball cards and had several different types of dice and roll for hits and all that. It was so long ago I can't even remember all the details but we had it down pretty good. We would roll a hundred sided dice and use a players batting average on the back of their card to determine whether they got a hit or not. Like if a guy had a .340 average you would have to roll under 34 on the dice to get a hit. We then had a system similar to that to determine what type of hit it was. Good times!

I get made fun of too by my wife and kids for playing this game and getting as into it as much as I do. I usually play later at night to have more peace and quiet since this game requires so much concentration. I play a lot more now than I used to with more time at home due to the pandemic and all that. I think it would be an awesome idea for a league made of with some of us older guys and I'd definitely be down for that!

WOW Intellivision had the BEST baseball check out "World Series Major League Baseball" For the intellivision ECS it came out 1981/2 AMAZING for its time.

Frame rate is terrible there.

Yes it is. Especially when your outfielder goes to catch a fly ball. Played a friendly there and it was just awful. Then the game froze with 2 outs in the 9th inning.

We had a great game tho

@TheGoaler_PSN I know Glenn personally GREAT BAND! Glenn should be on tour here in the USA in April dont miss it! His new album comes out 1st week of Sept. If you are in NY (i think i saw you post that) i MAY be able to have you meet the man

Bruh who was hiding The Beatles from us? Like I knew the existed but I always wrote it off as old music that I wouldn't like. Well I started listening on Spotify for fun to some of their top songs, like Come Together, Twist and Shout, Hey Jude, and Let It Be and this stuff slaps. Like still holds up today! Surprised I went 18 years before realizing this stuff is actually fire.

My favorites are Paperback Writer, Dear Prudence, and I am the Walrus. But Blackbird is a very underrated song. Go listen to those if you haven't already.

For me growing up ut was Octopus's garden, come together and here comes the sun. Abbey Road is one of the greatest albums ever.

Absolutely! My favorite album is Revolver though.

My fav as well theres a 3 part "let it be" series comin out later this year keep your eyes peeled

@ralph13m_PSN Those were the original lyrics. The album was supposed to be called war pigs but the rec company made them change it.

not for noting i was playing hardball 6 (PC) online in 99. Back then there was no cheese your were psyched to be playing another human as opposed to the CPU. THEN out of nowhere the "whatever it takes to win" slowly entered online games and was a complete turn off to people that wanted to compete legitimate. Now unless you play custom leagues w people you know, u deal w toxcitity. Is what it is (isnt that the latest saying??)

EDIT: wow website is still up 22 years later!!!......http://redozone.com/hardball.html

Nobody is playing the game anymore its a glitchfest. When do we play BASEBALL?

LMAO how bout just playing BASEBALL for FFS.

why was there no patch today this game is unplayable

how ive handled that in the past is consider that game a rain out and play it at the end of the season. If the reset games are minimal it will work if it gets out of hand forget it.

why dont u join a league? best cheese free environment there is.

@TheGoaler_PSN Amen well said!

Hardball 99??

@dbarmonstar_psn said in Who was hiding the Beatles from us?:

My favorite Movie Sound Track is Top Gun.

Thats the only album that has the Dio song - Hide in the Rainbow. GREAT song

EDIT: My bad the song was on the iron eagle soundtrack sorry

@TheGoaler_PSN Eddie started with WDHA 105.5 NJ he used to have a metal show sat nites and did the famous "Midnight Metal News" at 12:00 on the nose it was here sometime in 1985 where i 1st heard Glenn Hughes was the new lead singer in Black Sabbath. Yeah im that old and that much of a music lover

Hardball 99??

No, I never got to play that one.

This one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MLB_'99

Ahhh Hardball was a great series it ended on PS w Hardball 99 and on PC w Hardball 6

@thegoaler_psn said in Who was hiding the Beatles from us?:

Just to stir things a bit, I saw Queen at MSG in 1980 at the Garden. Everyone I tell this gets jealous, lol.
For the record, I love The Beatles, but my top 3 bands are:
Van Halen
Dream Theater
Overkill.
Saw all in concert.

saw 2 outta the 3 seen VH a couple times and DT opened for ELP/DP in like 98 or so

@TheGoaler_PSN Seen Glenn over 30x and seen BCC 3x. Dont think they will be touring anytime soon with Glenn, Joe and Jasons schedules being pretty full for 2026. I take it you missed BCC in sayerville in 2012?

I remember that game! Not sure exactly what year my Dad bought our Intellivision but in 1981/1982 I would've been 5 and 6 years old. I would say I was more like 7 or 8 but I can't remember exactly. It was definitely ahead of it's time though, being able to have a video game system at your house! You used to have to go to this thing called an arcade to play video games....haha. I played all those Intellivision games, the basketball game they had was pretty fun too. I wish I still had that thing, it would be fun to hook up and see what I think of all those games today.

This was a diff game it was for the Intellivision ECS (Entertainment Computer System) it was a limited thing and didnt take off before the great crash of 1983 but this baseball game was one of its main games. from a simple google search.......
Intellivision World Series Major League Baseball is a baseball sports game, designed by Don Daglow and Eddie Dombrower and published by Mattel for the Intellivision Entertainment Computer System. IWSB was one of the first sports games to use multiple camera angles and present a three-dimensional perspective. It was also the first statistics-based baseball simulation game on a video game console; all prior console baseball games were arcade-style recreations of the sport.
