I played Old Time Baseball for quite a while before switching to High Heat.
I have a new (used)PC with an Intel 82845 G/GL Graphics Controller. Will MVP
2004 work with this card?
Have to admit that the recent revelations of steroid use has soured me on
the great Canadian pastime. That on top of labour wrangling, filthy rich and
childish owners and the rest. I was hoping to find a PC game that would
rekindle the old fire.
I can't switch to game platforms as I'm one of those folks who has bad after
effects from watching them.
