Baseball Mogul Sells 100,000+

Sports Mogul Inc. announced today that their award-winning product, Baseball Mogul 2008, has topped 115,000 units in sales in just six months, breaking their sales record for the entire year of 2006.

According to data from NPD Research, this makes Baseball Mogul 2008 the number 1-selling PC baseball game for the second straight year. This year's Baseball Mogul was the first game ever to give the player full control of any baseball franchise while also adding the strategic option of playing each game one pitch at a time. To achieve this level of realism, Sports Mogul built a database tracking every season from 1901 to 2007, including individual pitch ratings and pitching styles for every pitcher.

"I can't say enough about how great our fans are," said Clay Dreslough, founder and president of Sports Mogul Inc. "This company started twelve years ago in my basement, with the idea of building games for sports fans who care about strategy instead of reflexes. I never dreamed we could become the number 1 overall baseball game without the development budget of a large publisher."

Baseball Mogul's second year in the top spot also marks the second year the product was published by Enlight Software Ltd. (www.enlight.com ). Dreslough credits much of the game's success to the efforts of the Enlight team. "We've worked with several publishers over the past 12 years. Enlight is by far the best of the bunch. Baseball Mogul is a game that enlightens people; it helps them enjoy and understand their favorite sport. Enlight understands that type of game and how to portray it to the thinking sports fan."
