Inside All-Star Baseball 2000

All-Star Baseball 2000 hit the Game Boy Color in 1999, bringing Major League Baseball action to Nintendo's handheld. Published by Acclaim, this sports title features all thirty MLB teams and their official 1999 rosters, with Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter gracing the cover. It's a straightforward baseball simulation designed to be played on the go, fitting into the late-90s trend of portable sports games that aimed to offer a near-console experience in a smaller package. The player steps into the role of manager and players, controlling batting, pitching, and fielding through the Game Boy Color's d-pad and buttons. You can play a full nine-inning game, adjust lineups, and choose from different pitching styles and swing types. The core loop involves selecting a team, facing off against the computer or a friend via link cable, and trying to outscore the opponent with real baseball rules and stats. For retro baseball fans, this title holds up as a competent handheld representation of America's pastime. Its licensed rosters from a memorable MLB season give it nostalgic value, especially for anyone who followed the late 90s Yankees dynasty. While not groundbreaking compared to its N64 counterpart, it's a solid pick for Game Boy Color collectors and anyone looking for a quick inning on the go.

How to play All-Star Baseball 2000 online

Getting Started Start by pressing Enter to get past the title screen, then use the D-Pad to navigate the menu. Select Exhibition or Season mode, choose your team from the list of all 30 MLB clubs, and pick the opponent. You can also adjust game length (3, 5, or 9 innings) and other settings before stepping onto the field. Once the game begins, you'll control the pitcher and batter sequentially. When pitching, use the D-Pad to select pitch type and location, then press the assigned button to throw. While batting, time your swing with the pitch - press the B button (default) to hit. After contact, you control base runners using the D-Pad to advance or retreat, and fielders automatically move but you can aim throws with the D-Pad and press a button to execute. The core loop revolves around alternating between offense and defense every three outs. Keep an eye on the score and try to exploit your opponent's weaknesses. If you get stuck, the manual (not included here) explains advanced mechanics like stealing bases and bunting, but the basic controls are easy enough to learn by trial and error.
