As you can see, simple, but very effective. The runners advanced and took their bases, and the fielders moved into position. On close calls the Managers even came out to argue! Also, when you edited a stadium the effects were visable (like moving the fences, adding grandstands or raising/lowering walls). A great sim!

Man, I almost wept when I saw that.
For 5 years, I ran a league using EWB (and EWB II), then we moved to Tony LaRussa II and its successors. That's what got me into OOTP in the first place. I wanted to recapture those years of fun, so I went looking for a new sim to run a league. FPS
sucked in that effort (first versions were too slow and buggy), but then I found OOTP nirvana.
It's nice reminiscing, but I agree with an earlier poster. Graphics should be the last thing on Markus' plate for a while.
Now, I'm off to see if I can dig up Old Time Baseball...

"Beings will come, Frodo. The one constant through all the years has been baseball. Middle Earth has rolled by like an army of Mumakil. It has been erased like a slate, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Frodo. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... beings will come Frodo. Beings will most definitely come." -
