Development

High Heat Baseball 1999 was developed by Team .366, an internal development team of The 3DO Company. [5] Development begin in 1995 for 3DO's Opera system, then moved to the Panasonic M2, before finally being targeted towards PCs. [4] A PlayStation port of the game was announced, [4] [5] but was never released.

The developers opted to cut out between-play action such as the ball being returned to the pitcher after a ball or strike, in order to keep games down to about a half-hour for players who do not have time for long gaming sessions. [4]

The game received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. [6]
