Dusty Diamond's All-Star Softball — About this game
Dusty Diamond's All-Star Softball lets you build a team instead of choosing an existing club. Draft ten players, set their batting order and positions, and use individual strengths to handle six distinctive fields. Water, rough ground and other obstacles make placement more than a matter of picking the strongest hitter. In solo play, five preliminary wins lead to the defending Amazons. Fast Pitch uses a nine-player fielding lineup with a reserve, while Slow Pitch puts all ten players on the field and forbids steals. The combination of roster selection, special abilities and local ground rules gives each team a different character.
