1960: Broncos Replay, Game 2

Posted on by

I played the second game of the season because it’s against my friend Lando’s team, the Bills.

I’ll play the first game next.

Final from War Memorial Stadium:

Since this is a quick play, game, there’s really no stats generated, except for TD passes/runs, XPs made, and FGs made.  So I’ll just keep things simple with the box scores.

Football

Al Wilson released a free print-n-play football game.

Fast Drive Football is a drive-by-drive quick play game.  Each possession/drive is resolve with a single roll of the dice, using charts much like many PLAAY games like History Maker Baseball.

I downloaded the rules, charts, and all the seasons available (more added periodically), and printed the 1960, 1972, and 1981 seasons.

I’ll give it a spin soon, after I go over the rules.  If I have time I may replay the entire 1960 Broncos season, even though I’m going to start with their week 2 opponents as a ‘tutorial’.

And it may be obvious which teams seasons I’ll try to replay for the other two seasons that I printed out.

Stay tuned!

The Return

Posted on by

Baseball resumes tomorrow, July 16th, with a triple-header:

Ball Park Baseball 1971: Game 47, Expos @ Giants

Payoff Pitch Baseball 1921: Game 46, Giants @ Pirates

Inside Pitch 1988, Game 1: Mets @ Expos

I’m replaying the first season replay that I ever attempted, the 1988 New York Mets season, using Inside Pitch.  I asked for and got a copy of the latest rules and charts, so I figured that with would be a good time to take that game out for a spin again.

And yes, I plan to get back to the 1917 season soon.

Stay tuned!

Olympics

Posted on by

Curiosity bit me again, probably because of Olympic fever.

Damn NBC Sports and their Tokyo 2021 commercials.

There’s a games designer named Roberto Chiavini who has a variety of quick-play sports games.  His Daring Racers game is a quick, fun game that I’d been playing for a few years.

One sports sim venue that I’ve never tried is the Olympic Games, even just something as simple as the decathlon.  Chiavini offers the full Olympics from a given year, with all the events played that year, so I decided to try the 1984 Summer Games from Los Angeles, California.

I should be getting the PDF via email in the next day or so.  If I like this one I may get a Winter Games set (1980?) or maybe the 1992 Summer Games.

Stay tuned!
