HardBall II is a baseball video game developed by Distinctive Software and published by Accolade for the Amiga, DOS and Macintosh computers in 1989/1990.

Summary

It is the first sequel to HardBall!, a successful game released five years prior, and the first game Chris Taylor (who would later go on to develop Total Annihilation and Dungeon Siege) received credits for. The game would later be followed up by HardBall III, 4 5 and 6.

Package Contents

Hardball II includes the following items:

Two Floppy Disks
Hardball II Manual (60 pages)
Hardball II Batting Commands Sheet
Hardball II Fielding Command Chart
Hardball II Copy Protection Code Wheel
- The code wheel contains three wheels. The outer wheel contains the last name of baseball players. The middle ring contains the players' first names. The inner ring contains years. When the rings are properly aligned, cut outs in the third ring reveal the players' baseball stats. These stats must be entered into the program before Hardball II will load.^[1]
