Just like Mogul 1, Mogul 99 is an addictive baseball franchise simulator. You assume the role of both General Manager and Manager for a professional baseball team of your choice. You start in the Spring of 1998 with a 25 player roster and about 25 more AAA (minor league) players. All of these are the real players with real stats from your city's team. In your role as Manager, you set the starting defense, batting order and pitching rotation for your team. You choose who stays in the big leagues, who gets sent down to the minors, and who gets released altogether. As General Manager, you craft complex trades and sign multi-million dollar players, competing with artificially intelligent player agents and general managers. Baseball Mogul 99 features greatly improved AI, providing hours more of challenge. You also get to control all the finances of your team, from setting the price of a ticket or a hot dog to allocating funds to your farm system, scouts and medical staff. * Alter defensive and offensive lineups * Bring up minor leaguers, or send major leaguers to the bench, or back into training * Make trades, or accept trades proposed by the computer * Hire and release players * Sign free agents * Budget for scouting, farms and medical staff * Determine ticket prices, concessions and advertising contracts Make your choices game by game, or run the computer for an entire season and play for years - even decades! Watch your team rise and fall in the standings and read the news stories to find out the latest news on your own team, and the competition. You can monitor your progress in a variety of ways: * Scouting reports give detailed information on each player on your team, and on all other teams * News stories detail games and league events, such as player awards, retirements, Hall of Fame inductions and trades * The financial page lets you compare your revenue with that of other teams in both leagues - stay profitable if you want to create a lasting dynasty! * Play by play and box scores are available for each game detailed in the new stories. Baseball Mogul features true color high resolution art, and an easy to use Windows(r)95 interface. Video and sound were created by the award winning Audible Images team. NEW FEATURES: -All new statistics for 1998 including the two new Expansion Teams, -Arizona and Tampa Bay! (Note: We don't have MLB or MLBPA licensing, so no team or player names are used. We use replacement names.) -City Editor add your own city, or choose from a list of over 50 different cities pre-set into the game. -League Editor Two leagues with three divisions each? How boring! Spice things up by redesigning the entire league structure. You can even designate which teams get to use the DH rule! -Multiplayer/Fantasy League Control go head to head against your friends, taking turns at the keyboard, or use this feature to run a Baseball Mogul 99 Fantasy League! You can set certain teams to be run by the computer, and other teams to be under your control. -Improved Printing Options More ways to print and study your teams and players. Paradigm put out a copy of this game in late April, and we decided to get a box copy version, and notice ours says in the About "Baseball Mogul 99 2.12 Build 8/24/98" - Any further questions?

(Software Piracy Association), a private meeting between the key contributing and contending groups was held. On October 15th, 1998 an agreement and compromise was reached between the 3 attending parties, CLASS, PARADIGM and RAZOR 1911. Let it be known that this type of compromise could not be achieved under the S.P.A. environment; it took a clean break to accomplish in a day what had previously gone unaccomplished in 2 months. The end result being a new council whose sole purpose is to set standards for the game-releasing subsector of the scene, to be adhered to by all admitted parties. Represented members of this new council named THE FACTION, have pledged to abide by the following set of rules created a) to ensure a quality minded end result and b) to encourage fair play and a productive competitive environment for involved groups. The Faction 10 Point Program: 1. The disk limit is as of now 50 x 2.88 megabytes or 2,915,328 bytes. This equates to a total of 144 megabytes of compressed data or 145,766,400 bytes. Using 2.88 megabyte archives enables us to keep the standard 8 character filename with a 3 character extension. This will also help contribute to the elimination of the 'missing disk' phenomenon, plaguing end-users worldwide. Acceptable compression formats at this time are ACE or RAR, followed by the traditional PKZIPing. 2. Every release under this limit will be a functionally and playably complete game. This means that included will be every component necessary for the successful completion of the game (every level, track, course and other NECESSARY component). 3. Sound effects WILL and MUST be included. 4. Intros, Outros and Cut-Scenes should be removed if the size of the release is 40 x 2.88 disks or more with them included. Intros should NOT be iuncluded in a Movie Add-On, only Cut-Scenes and Outro (aka End-Scene) should be included. Animation files, such as .SMKs, should be "framed" and not blacked out. Re-indexing of large files, should consist of an actual re-index instead of just creating a file full of 0's, (which doesn't change the actual file size, but allows it to compress to virtually nothing), thus promoting more quality minded rips and cracks. 5. Only 2 Add-Ons should be released per game. Each Add-On should be no more than 25 x 2.88 megabyte archives. 6. A brief outline of what has been stripped from the game should be clearly stated in the game-release .NFO, as well as information as to whether or not Add-Ons can be expected. 7. Children's games (aka Kiddie games) and Edutainment software do not qualify under THE FACTION's guidelines for acceptable releases. 8. In regard to games distributed in the United States that are LATER distributed in Europe or vice versa under the same or different name / publisher. These games if released AFTER another group's release are counted as DUPES unless it can be proven that there is a clearly noticeable PLAYABLE difference in the latter release (eg. new levels, enhanced graphics, or other new features). 9. Fully cracked Update Patches and Trainers are highly regarded, though they are not the responsibility of any group (including that of which released the original game.) If 2 trainers from the same or different groups are released for 1 game, this does NOT qualify as a dupe unless the latter trainer provides no new features over the prior trainer. 10. Admittance to THE FACTION is done on an invite / vote-in basis. The group invitation must be proposed before ALL current FACTION member- group representatives, and the corresponding vote must be undertaken by ALL FACTION member-group representatives. This council operates in a purely democratic manner and all parties therein have upon joining, agreed to follow all stated guidelines of this Declaration of Scene Independence. Today is not only a new dawn in the games scene, but our Independence Day where differences are at least temporarily put aside and our unity re-consolidated.
