The Table Top Sports Games of Chris Saguisag
I need to find a way to play these football games in a shorter time period.
I’m only halfway through the Super Bowl LI replay, which I started around the coin toss of the actual game on Sunday.
Halftime score:
NE 10
ATL 21
I guess I can just put this aside for now, and play something else, like the new golf game.
Stay tuned!
PLAAY Games appeal to me in that they don’t use raw stats to grade a player in a game. They generally use qualities or attributes which pretty much describe the athlete in question, in the sport in question, and through the use of charts and dice, fairly realistic results are generated.
Having never played golf (maybe for a week in high school, driving golf balls across a soccer field toward a hula hoop), I seem to have unusually high interest in golf games, as this is the fourth one in my collection, 5th if you include the one that I bought over 20 years ago and have not seen in about 15 years.
Oddly enough, I was about to pull out one of those other golf games to play with over the weekend.
The game itself comes with about 100+ golfers from the 2000s, and I ordered an all-time greats set with about 100 more. And I got the ‘how-to’ guide to build my own courses AND create my own golfers. If anyone wants to be included, let me know, and I’ll try to generate a card for you.
I plan to create myself, and maybe Happy Gilmore and Shooter McGavin.
Stay tuned!
I started a Second Season football preplay of Super Bowl LI right before the game started.
I had finished the first quarter as the game ended.
And then I got the updated Super Bowl teams file from Downey Games for their Game Winning Drive Football game.
I may try to finish the Second Season one this week, while playing the GWD Football one as well.
Stay tuned!
I toyed with the idea of setting up a goal of finishing 50% of each of my current projects by the middle of the year.
But then I realized that this could turn this more into a chore than a hobby.
So I’ll make it a not-so-strict goal, with the baseball projects taking priority.
And I still plan to start the 1917 full season replay sometime soon.
Stay tuned!
As I said, I only picked up one item on Cyber Monday: Lacrosse Blast from PLAAY Games.
This was the only game that I didn’t already own from PLAAY. I have almost no knowledge of lacrosse, though I’ve seen it played on TV a couple of times. Looks like hockey.
I also ordered a fictional season set along with it, so I’ll be setting up yet another fictional season schedule in no time.
Stay tuned!
April 21, 1974: Giants @ Dodgers, Dodger Stadium
Final from Dodger Stadium:
Crazy game as the Giants jump out to an early lead, the Dodgers tying the game and taking the lead in the bottom of the 8th, and Mike Marshall blowing a save and walking in the winning run. Dave Kingman knocks in 2 with a homer for the Giants.
D’Acquisto’s record: 1-2 (no decision; actual: 2-1)
Next opponent: April 27, 1974: Swan vs. D’Acquisto @ Candlestick Park
Stay tuned!
