David M. Wilson and Johnny L. Wilson reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World , and stated that "The graphics routines (with their annoying flip-flop of the stadium perspective) still tend to slow play down, but the game is still significant because of the number of offensive choices available (seven relate to the batter and seven to the baserunner) and defensive options provided (four for the pitcher and five for the fielders)."

Mainframe computers are computers used primarily by businesses and academic institutions for large-scale processes. Before personal computers, first termed microcomputers, became widely available to the general public in the 1970s, the computing industry was composed of mainframe computers and the relatively smaller and cheaper minicomputer variant. During the mid to late 1960s, many early video games were programmed on these computers. Developed prior to the rise of the commercial video game industry in the early 1970s, these early mainframe games were generally written by students or employees at large corporations in a machine or assembly language that could only be understood by the specific machine or computer type they were developed on. While many of these games were lost as older computers were discontinued, some of them were ported to high-level computer languages like BASIC, had expanded versions later released for personal computers, or were recreated for bulletin board systems years later, thus influencing future games and developers.
