Summary

In this video game, a player can either control a normal baseball team or an ultra baseball team with super hitting and pitching plays to boost their chances of winning. There are many ultra plays, but a few examples of this include:

  • "Tremor Hit" -- The ball, after being hit, causes an earthquake on the first bounce, resulting in fielders being unable to move for a short period of time.
  • "Missile Hit" -- If a player on the opposite team gets in the way of a line drive, they will be driven back to the fence and smashed.
  • "Iron Ball" -- The pitched ball becomes a lead cannonball in midair, making it almost impossible to hit without the batter using an ultra play. On rare occasions this pitch is hittable using an ordinary swing.
  • "Fire Ball" -- A super-fast fastball, which would regularly reach close to 120 miles per hour (190 km/h).

Each Ultra play uses a certain amount of points. Ultra points are limited and when they are all used up no more ultra plays can be performed.

Within Baseball Simulator 1.000, there is an exhibition mode, a regular season mode, and a team edit mode that allows the player to make his own players to form a customized baseball team.

A magic number appears during the regular season, telling the leading team how many victories they have to make until they are assured the pennant.

A season can be 5, 30, 60, 120, or 165 games. Out of the 18 possible teams, only six teams can be used in a division/league during the season. It is possible to have normal and ultra teams in the same league. However, there are no playoffs for the top two teams. Whoever wins the division is the champion.

Also, hitters on first place teams tend to lose their power when their team holds a five game lead or higher over the second place team. The same goes for the pitchers and their stamina. This also happens when the team that is playing at a particular time is tied with another team for first place.

Because this game was made prior to the ESRB, this game has not been rated.
