 This must have been about 15 years ago, or so.  It pales compared to
 current offerings, but sure seemed funa t the time!

I did not see the baseball game, but I remember a similar setup for a
football game.  One player started the program and another player at another
terminal would log on with :DATA.  You could pass, kick, run, punt and it was
a great little game.
 
This was in 1979, which does not make us any younger.  I ran it on MPEIII rel
1912, the first HP-IB release for series 30-33.  It also ran on MPEIII rel
1906 for series II-III and probably earlier ones.
