Microleague Baseball!
MLB is the ultimate baseball strategy game which challenges your head, not your hand. You manage actual big league players - setting and changing lineups, choosing pinchhitters, bringing in a relief pitcher you think will do the job. You pick the spots for steal tries, bunts, a hit f, run - all the real lire offense and defensive strategies used by Major league managers.
The Players MLB teams have 25 Major League players on each roster. Actual players perform just like they do in real life - hitting, running, fielding, and pitching. Players' stats are shown, and teams will play up to their potential - maybe even better if you manage them well. So, for current players Armas to Zahn, or former players Ashburn to Zernial - pick an MLB team roster and make your dugout fantasies come to life ... Features of MLB • Not eye-hand coordination - MLB is a strategy
game with superb graphics. 111 for two players, each managing a Major league
team, or play solo vs. the "Baseball Buddha" computer manager who handles the opposing team.
111 Manage along with a current season pennant race. • Who is the better team when you manage? Play
superpower teams of the past, even against a current year team.
111 "Save" a game and re-start it where you left off. • As the MLB manager, what would you do?-
9th inning, tie score, runners on 1st and 3rd, I out- to get the run home, would you bunt, try a
steal or hit and run? - to cut off the run, would you bring the infield
in, or play back for the double play? 1111 "Designated Hitter" option for all teams, depend
ing on your baseball purity level. 1111 Play in one-half hour with all the realism of Major
league Baseball.
No two MLB games are ever the same, since MlB is not a f1Xed replay of a game or season. It's your managerial strategies and "baseball sawy" which determine the outcome using actual major league players. Pacing the dugout won't work, for just like real managers you will have to make tough decisions before and during the game.
Ir you've ever second-guessed the lineups and strategies of your heart-throb team, if you've ever dreamed about being a Major league manager ... then take the challenge of Micro league Baseball.
• And to complete your MlcroLeague Game ••• get each season's NL and AL roster/ player disk-all 26 teams ($19.95).
• Update rosters and stats, trade and draft players-even create your own team-with Microl...eague's GM/Owner.; disk ($39.95)0

Sleuthing On The Railroad II AGENT USA Scholastic, Inc., 730 Broadway, New York, NY 10003, (212) 505-3000,· runs on Atari 800, 800XL and 1200XL; Commodore 64,· $29.95; retail.
In Agent USA, one of the latest releases in the Scholastic Wizware line of educational software, creatures called Fuzzbodies and a villainous FuzzBomb keep you on your toes while you ride the rails between major cities. As the American supersleuth Agent USA, your mission is to destroy the evil FuzzBomb before it turns every American citizen into a menacing FuzzBody.
Sounds like fun-but is it educational? Says Deborah Kovacs, creative director for software product development at Scholastic, Inc., "It's definite!} a game and it's a good game, but there's a lot to learn ... you're sort of unconsciously using educational tools-they're very well integrated into the overall game."
Those educational tools, she notes, include "a blend of resource management and planning and split-second decision making." In addition, Agent USA-which is targeted primarily for home use by 9- to 13-year-oldsteaches more classroom-oriented skills like U.S. geography and state capitals, according to Kovacs.
So what is a FuzzBomb? Technically speaking, it's an electromechanical device which looks something like a TV set on wheels and has the power to change unsuspecting citizens into helpless FuzzBodies-or so you learn in the information file presented to you by the Central Intelligence Bureau. Fuzzbodies are bundles of swirling energy that will render you similarly out of control should they make contact with you.
The premise of Agent USA begins with professor Elma Sniddle-an inventor and "well-known eccentric." At a time when Elma needed a power supply for the new type of television she was puttering around with, she found some glowing crystals in her backyard. She put one of the extraterrestrial crystals

MARS PRICE - $14.95 into the TV set and the results were disastrous. Only you can put an end to the menace.
Included with the 16-page information file of instructions and hints, you get a small poster, some stickers, a reference card and a coated, erasable map of the United States. The reference card-showing you how to load and play the game-and the map are valuable items to keep close by.
The program ·begins with a short demonstration explaining the object of the game and introducing some of the things you'll encounter during your battle for an unfuzzed America. The demonstration is minimally helpful, relating some but not all of the essential information needed to play the game. The information
file and reference card are all you need. Except for his distinctive hat, Agent
USA looks like an ordinary person scurrying about the train station. Moving the agent around with a joystick, you'll spend most of your time hopping trains and planting glowing crystals.
There are two kinds of trains: Local trains, which are older, and go to nearby cities and rocket trains which are newer, faster and cover great distances quickly. Getting a ticket for the train involves entering the train stationthere's one in every city you can visitand checking the schedule which appears on the screen. To make a ticket selection, you have to type in the city and state as it is written on the schedule. Ticket in hand, you find your way back to the station platform and wait for your transport.
Waiting for your train to arrive is not idle time; it's time for "growing" more crystals. Crystals are the diamondshaped objects which, you should remember, fell from outer space (presumably) into Elma's yard. Agent USA uses these crystals to tum FuzzBodies back into normal people, to keep himself from being transformed into a fuzzed state and to eventually disarm the rotten FuzzBomb itself. You are
given 10 of these crystals to start with, but you can "plant" some of them using the joystick button and reap them as they multiply. You'll have to work fast and efficiently for a good harvest. You'll need 100 crystals when it's time to face the dreaded FuzzBomb.
The thing that gives your journey perspective is the Infobooth, where you drop in to get the latest information updates. You can see where you are on the map, where the FuzzBomb is, and get a prediction as to where the evil one might spread its reign of terror in the near future. Infobooths, however, are only located in state capitals-a dear incentive to finally remember places like Bismark, ND, and Montpelier, Vermont.
Agent USA is entertaining and taking the right trains to the right places at the right times with the right amount of crystals can be very challenging. A James Bondish suspense theme that beats away while you're on the train is also a comic relief. And the graphics, as you would expect in a game written initially for Atari and Commodore machines (Apple and IBM versions are expected this summer),. are good. There are few problems with Agent USA as a game. -
But is Agent USA educational? Somehow, viewing the hoarding of space crystals as resource management smacks of the "hand-eye coordination" argument for endless hours of Pac Man. There is merit, to a degree, in these viewpoints, but they stretch the beleagured educational label too far.
Agent USA, to its credit, does a good job of familiarizing a youngster with U.S. geography-at least as far as the states and their capitals are concerned. You have to know the physical relationships between states and major cities to get around the game with any sense of order. But there's probably more fun here than anything else. And while there's nothing wrong in having fun, there seems something odd about a spoonful of sugar helping the medicine go down. But as long as you know that before you buy, there are some relatively complaint-free, entertaining hours awaiting you in Agent USA.
