1990: Bears Replay Game 16

Posted on August 21, 2022 by Chris S.

This was a replay that I started 6 years ago, playing out the rest of the 1990 season with Jim Harbaugh not injured down the stretch.

The one game I had played with the full Second Season rules resulted in the Bears beating Tampa Bay 23-10.

As with my 1967 Broncos replay I never went back to it because of the time involved in playing a full game of Second Season.

Now that I’ve rediscoved Second Season Express, football games go MUCH quicker and the results suit me fine.

So here we go with the rest of this replay!

Final from Soldier Field: (Game 16 – December 30, 1990)

Jim Harbaugh throws 5 touchdown passes in the final game of the regular season.

The Bears lost this game in real life, but the win doesn’t affect the standings (Bears still win the division) or the playoff matchups (Bears still face off against the #3 wildcard spot, the New Orleans Saints).

Next up: Wildcard Playoff Game: New Orleans Saints vs. Chicago Bears.

Stay tuned!

1967: Broncos Replay, Game 6

Posted on August 16, 2022 by Chris S.

Final from Bears Field:

The losing streak reaches 3.

Broncos Record: 2-4, still better than their real life record at this point in the season (1-5).

Next: San Diego comes to Denver.

Stay tuned!

1967 Denver Broncos and Second Season Express

Posted on August 15, 2022 by Chris S.

I bought Second Season Express back in 2019, put it in the Second Season game box, and let it sit for about 3 years.

Tonight I finally pulled it back out, after having a nice game with History Maker Baseball Express, and continued my 1967 Denver Broncos season replay.

I should have done this 3 years ago. Chances are I’d be finished with the replay by the time COVID rolled around in March 2020.

Final from Rice Stadium:

Broncos record: 2-3, which still better than their real-life record at this point in the season (1-4).

Next up: Bills come to Bears Stadium in Denver.

Stay tuned!

PLAAY Holiday Sale 2020

Posted on November 27, 2020 by Chris S.

No sign of the two missing MLB NL card sets.

But did pick up a few PDFs from PLAAY.com‘s 2020 Holiday sale, including:

a new jai-alai game
the NFL/AFL 1969 season for Second Season football
the MLB 1975 season for History Maker Baseball, which comes full circle since the sample teams in my original boxed game were the 2 World Series teams from 1975
the 1960 SCRAM (fictional) season for Red White & Blue Racing

Of the 4 I’ve already printed out the racing set, and am currently making the schedule for the Replay To Be Started Soon™.

The funny thing is that just last week I was wondering if PLAAY was ever going to come out with a 1960s season set for the game. Hopefully a NASCAR set will be produced from that era.

I’m still hoping that those two season sets show up.

Stay tuned!

Football Status

Posted on January 21, 2020 by Chris S.

So.

I have to get off my ass and get back to what I started 4 years ago, the 1967 replays.

It’ll happen. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

That 49ers replay may or may not start before Super Bowl LIV.

As for the other type of football:

These replays will get as much attention as I can muster, when not busy/distracted. I’m less inclined to play the 2008-09 replay due to the fact that Spurs did so poorly that season, and the game engine for Net Results Soccer is slightly different for 2008-09 than from the 2017-18 seasons. It can get a bit confusing.

Basketball and hockey have never been started, so no need to make a post about either of those sports replays.

Stay tuned!
