About this game
Dave Winfield's Batter Up! is an educational baseball game which was developed in conjunction with professional baseballer Dave Winfield.
The program contains two parts, a tutorial called lessons with Dave Winfield and a game called Slugfest.

The tutorial consists of five lessons teaching the techniques of the game: the grip, the stance, the pitch, the swing and hitting strategies.
Included in the package is also a book called The Act of Hitting which expands on the lessons in the program.
The game, Slugfest, is exclusively about batting and the player can play alone or compete against up to three other players.
The player hits against a series of eight pitchers each with a different style.
Before starting one can choose stance to swing from, hitting left or right and which field to play on.
Once out on the field the batter and the pitcher are viewed from a fixed third person perspective.
As the ball is thrown the player has to press the right height key (high, medium or low) just as the ball passes by.
Upon a hit a map will show the flight path of the ball and the result (single, foul ball, home run etc.) will be reported.
About Sega Genesis
Known as the Mega Drive outside North America, the Sega Genesis (1988/1989) was Sega's most successful console and Sonic the Hedgehog's original home, fueling the "console wars" era against Nintendo's SNES. Genesis cartridge collecting is well-established: common sports and platformer titles are affordable, while sports-license and later-era games with smaller print runs can carry a meaningful premium.
Gamevaro tracks Batter Up for Sega Genesis with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Batter Up to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically.
