Check out these two new Commodore 64 reviews courtesy of the C-64 Critic!

I'm disappointed about Championship Baseball.  I played it on the Atari computer, where it was called Star League Baseball.  I think the Atari version is simpler (not pitcher view).  I'll have to track down a copy and review it.

Whoa.......hold on for a second boys....

What the C-64 Critic reviewed was the sequel the the Atari/Commodore classic Star League Baseball....called Championship Baseball.

Star League Baseball is the gem.  No split screen and simply amazing for a 1983 release.

What the C-64 Critic reviewed has a "play season" option and allows for player customization but the fun ends after that.  I would have given it a D grade because of how it is so inferior to Star League.

Regardless of the confusion....thank you for the C-64 reviews!!

Teddy - THANK YOU for setting the record straight.  Now everything makes sense.  I see a Star League review in my future...

Reading that review for 50 Mission Crush makes we want to see the C64 Critic review one of the big war strategy games of the day.

I'm sorry that the games aren't good, but it's nice to see new C64 review.

I'd like to request that the C64 Critic spend some time reviewing the "classic" C64 games:

Archon
Raid Over Moscow
M.U.L.E.
Exploding Fist
Summer/Winter/California Games
Leaderboard
Elite
Blue Max
Impossible Mission
Little Computer People
Zork (actually, most Infocom games)
Maniac Mansion
Great Giana Sisters
Gunship

It's great we're seeing some more obscure games, but throw some of the biggies in there!!
