Pete Rose Baseball (NTSC)
Pete Rose Baseball is a multiplatform video game published by Absolute for the Atari 2600 and the Atari 7800.
The game was a notable improvement over previous Atari 2600 baseball games such as Home Run and RealSports Baseball. The game features a "behind the pitcher" viewpoint for pitching and batting, a viewpoint which was introduced by the classic computer game Hardball. In addition, the game features different "bird's eye" views of the field depending on where the ball is hit; there are two infield views (one for each half of the infield) and three outfield views (left field, center field, and right field).
