Mail Call
Two items from PLAAY.com in the mail:
- History Maker Baseball 5.0 rule book and game book: updated rules/charts and stuff, good prompt to get me back into this game
- Red White & Blue Racin’ 2018 SCRAM season set: currently running the 2016 season, may get the 2017 season before starting this one
How many racing series can I concurrently run before going nuts? I’m doing 3 so far.
And perhaps I should also revisit the Bay Area Baseball League, while I’m at it.
Stay tuned!
Finish What You Started
That’s a goal of mine right now. Enough sitting on my hands about what I should be playing. I simply need to get these done before starting something new.
Which is why I’m focusing on the various racing series that I started a couple of years ago. They have the shortest schedules and an average play time of about 30-45 minutes, so I should be able to finish these fairly quickly.
The Pepsi Cup truck series is the shortest, with 18 races and 5 of them already run.
SCRAM 2016 and Winston Cup 1979 are 30+ races each.
Then I can move on to the various baseball replays, starting with the John D’Acquisto rookie season replay. And I really want to play and finish the 1967 San Francisco Giants season replay.
There will be pauses for football (NFL/AFL/CFL), boxing, and non-sports games as well.
Stay tuned!
