“APBA Major League Players Baseball.” Random House. For IBM and most IBM compatibles. $89.95. APBA--a brilliantly designed baseball strategy game that required dice and elaborate charts--moves into the computer age, allowing you to make lineups, call steals and even decide when a runner should try for an extra base with just a push of a key. The game, which reflects every player’s actual major-league performance for a given year, is an absolute delight for hard-core baseball junkies. This debut edition is based on 1984 statistics. The 1985 and “super teams” editions are due in March.
