The Table Top Sports Games of Chris Saguisag
Count on me to pick a season where a third of the teams don’t have a logo.
No logo:
Baltimore Colts
Detroit Lions
Green Bay Packers
New York Yanks
Chicago Bears, Chicago Cardinals, Cleveland Browns
Los Angeles Rams. New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles
Pittsburgh Steelers, San Francisco 49ers, Washington Redskins
This is the first year of the NFL-AAFC merger, which expanded the NFL from 10 to 13 teams.
The new teams were the Colts, Browns, and 49ers.
When I get around to this replay, I may play out the entire league, or just the 49ers.
Stay tuned!
I plan on continuing the following ongoing replays:
Baseball
1921 NY Giants (Payoff Pitch Baseball)
1971 SF Giants (Ball Park Baseball)
Soccer
2015-16 Tottenham Hotspur (APBA Soccer)
2020-21 AFC Richmond (Dice United)
Racing
1984 Winston Cup (Red White & Blue Racin’)
2012 SCRAM (Red White & Blue Racin’)
Football
1960 Denver Broncos (Fast Drive Football)
1967 Denver Broncos (Second Season/Second Season Express/Inside Blitz/Grid Iron Wars)
At some point I plan on adding hockey and basketball into the mix, as time permits. I just have to decide which replays to include:
Hockey
1966-67 NHL (Hockey Blast)
1969-70 Oakland Seals (Hockey Blast)
1991-92 San Jose Sharks (APBA)
2013-14 IHL (Hockey Blast, fictional)
2022-23 Central Cities League (Stone Cold Hockey, fictional)
Basketball
1960-61 Syracuse Nationals (Bank Shot Basketball)
1966-67 San Francisco Warriors (Inside the Paint)
2022-23 Basketball League of America (Highlight Maker Hoops, fictional)
And of course I’ll be tracking all the games right here.
Stay tuned!
Last week I had an itch to play this, one of the many games that have been collecting dust on my shelf since 2014.
I wasn’t sure where I put it, and almost bought a new copy of the game.
Instead I bought a PDF of the 1890 Players League that I’d print out later, once I figured out how to play the game again.
Today I found the box where I moved the game parts and player cards, and what did I find along with those items?
A PRINTED set of the 1890s Players League, which is weird because I went through my past orders at Downey Games and didn’t find it listed, which I why I decided to get the PDF copy.
Ah well.
I also found the position player card and the pitcher’s card with my name one it, should I feel the need to include myself on a team in the game.
And I did manage to play a game, back when I bought it.
I’ve already missed 2 days of my ‘game-a-day’ plan for this year, and adding this game into the mix may not be the smartest idea.
We’ll see.
Stay tuned!
I was browsing a site selling t-shirts of defunct sports teams, and learned that there was a team in the World Football League called the Birmingham Vulcans.
So of course I looked for the team in any team sets available for games that I play.
I learned that they played for one season, or rather part of a season before the league folded.
They were the team with the best record when the league ceased operations, so a bunch of sports writers declared them the champions of that shortened season.
I may replay the entire season, or just the games that were never played.
Stay tuned!
I ordered the Fast Action System and Advanced Game for Grid Iron Wars, along with the other two AAFC seasons available (1948, 1949), and Downey Games threw in the 1969 AFL season as an extra. Cool!
I wonder if it’s because this year is the first time the Kansas City Chiefs have been in the Super Bowl since then, 50 years ago?
Of course now I should get the 1969 NFL season so I can replay Super Bowl IV. Then again, I didn’t get the 1967 NFL season when I got the 1967 AFL season.
Stay tuned!
