By the looks of it, "this true to life" game is statistical in nature and probably a one player game. A marketed version of games that have existed for decades and toughies to make multi player. "Hey, wanna come over and play a baseball game dealing with statistics and probablility" is a lot less appealing than "I've got a bat and ball, wanna whack something?".

The best thing of all about this advert is that you cannot buy the product, only mail in for their catalogue. If I were paranoid, i'd say that maybe it was the government trying amass a database of kids that thought too much. Good thing I'm not.

In Australia and England, it'd be a cricket game. A classic. And as L.S. from Boston, Mass. attests, "the most exciting and fun game ever".
