I just got a copy of Earl Weaver Baseball yesterday, and I must say I am quite disappointed by the port. The mac version lacks several features found in other versions of the game (like team editing) which are more or less essential to the game. The program runs only in B&W, and is limited to the small screen size of a Mac Plus/SE. (You can't even move any windows outside that area.) Also, the feel of the game is very un-mac-like. The game interface is much too modal, and there are even non-mac menus in at least one place in the game. I haven't had much of a chance to play it yet, but it seems like an enjoyable game once you get past the initial shock of a lousy port. I haven't played it enough to go into any details here. P.S. The game does run under MultiFinder, which is a plus. -- Name: Sean Trowbridge Job:Software Engineer Quote: "Yo, Adrian." - Employer: Visix Software Inc. Sylvester Stallone.
