Description
DinoMight Baseball is a Windows 95-era baseball computer game starring teams of dinosaurs. Players choose between one of eight standard teams or one all-star team to play against a local second player or the computer. The game is played by keyboard, or the instruction manual also claims support for the Batter Up controller via the computer joystick port.
There are six ballparks with different looks and hazards to vary gameplay: The Boneyard, Wiggly Field, Sandalstick Park, Fernway Park, Jurassic Field, and La Brea Tar Dome.
A free demo of the game was available to download online, restricting games to only two specific teams and two innings per game.
