New Plan
I want to take a chunk out of all the baseball replays I’m currently running, so I’m going to try to play one game a night for as long as I can do that.
If I were more focused last year I would have finished at least one of these replays.
I have about 3 where I’m close to 40-50 games in, so I’ll start there, though I think I may start the 1986 dual replay that I’ve been itching to play, tonight.
Stay tuned!
Replays
1960 SCRAM Series, Revised
I’ve expanded the 1960 SCRAM Racing Series from 19 races to 29 races, doubling up on the non-road course tracks, and adding PLAAY.com sponsorship to the event names.
My plans are to run this and two other racing series (1984 NASCAR, 2016 SCRAM) in my unscheduled sports gaming replay rotation, which seems to have settled on baseball (1921/1971 Giants), soccer (2011-12 Spurs), auto racing, and hockey (1966-67 Maple Leafs). I don’t have the patience or interest in basketball or football at the moment, but that may change as the year goes on.
I may even dip into a few more neglected games/replays.
Stay tuned!
