All-Star Baseball 2000 for Nintendo Game Boy Color was the first title in the All-Star Baseball series to be released on a handheld console.
Developed by Iguana Entertainment and published by Acclaim Entertainment, it was released for the Game Boy Color in 1999.
It is widely considered to be one of the best baseball games ever released for a portable system.
The game features all 28 teams from Major League Baseball, including their complete rosters from the 1998 season.
Players can choose to play in either an exhibition match or a full season mode, which is set up as a 162 game schedule with playoffs and a World Series Championship at the end of the season.
The player can also customize their team's lineup and batting order before each game.
Gameplay wise, All-Star Baseball 2000 is fairly simple but still very enjoyable.
Players control their entire team during matches, meaning they have to manage both offense and defense simultaneously.
On offense, players take control of their batters by manually swinging at pitches or choosing what type of pitch they want to hit when it's their turn at bat.
Defensively, players can move around fielders to position them for catches or throws and switch between different pitchers if they want to change up their strategy mid-game.
One unique feature that sets All-Star Baseball 2000 apart from other baseball games is its "Hot Spot" mode.
This mode allows players to focus on one particular aspect of gameplay such as pitching or fielding while leaving all other aspects to the computer AI.
This makes it easier for less experienced players to get into the game without having to worry about managing every part of the match themselves.
The graphics in All-Star Baseball 2000 are quite good considering its age and platform limitations; however, there have been some complaints about how slow loading times can be when playing longer matches due to its large data size.
The sound effects are also quite good with realistic crowd noises and commentary from two announcers during matches adding an extra level of immersion into the experience.
Overall, All-Star Baseball 2000 for Nintendo Game Boy Color is an excellent baseball game that captures all of the excitement of real life Major League Baseball action in a portable package that anyone can enjoy wherever they go.
Its easy controls make it great for beginners while its deep gameplay mechanics allow more experienced players plenty of room for experimentation and strategy building as well as intense competition against friends or computer opponents alike.
