Tornado Baseball / Ball Park
The game is a very simple game of baseball, implemented with stick figures. The game is very simple in terms of rules, and anybody can pick up on how to play fairly quickly. This is a two player only title, with both people playing for a single quarter. The pitching player selects his pitch with one joystick, while moving his outfielders with a second one. The batting player only has a single button (that is a 'swing' button). Both players use the same set of controls, so they must switch spots in front of the machine midway through each inning. You get a four inning game for one quarter, although that number can be adjusted by the game operator.

Tornado Baseball / Ball Park and M.A.M.E.
0.31 [Lee Taylor]
WIP:
- 0.117u1: Changed description to 'Tornado Baseball / Ball Park'.
- 0.111u4: Zsolt Vasvari and Derrick Renaud added partial sound emulation in Tornado Baseball. Changed 8080 CPU1 clock speed to 1996800 Hz. Added Discrete sound. Added dipswitches 'Enable SCORE Input', 'Cabinet' and 'Unused'.
- 0.94u3: Added new cpu1 rom ($800).
- 12th March 2005: Frank Palazzolo - I got Midway Tornado Baseball yesterday. The ROMs look intact, so hopefully this will help with the "No good dump known". The auction claimed that it didn't work when powered up, but I'm betting that's mostly due to the missing CPU chip.
- 0.37b1: Removed Invaders samples. Changed Double 8-way Joystick to 8-way.
- 0.36RC2: Marked cpu1 rom ($800) as bad. This rom fails the test. Added Invaders samples.
- 0.31: Lee Taylor added Tornado BaseBall (Midway 1976).
