The Table Top Sports Games of Chris Saguisag
Curiosity bit me again, probably because of Olympic fever.
Damn NBC Sports and their Tokyo 2021 commercials.
There’s a games designer named Roberto Chiavini who has a variety of quick-play sports games. His Daring Racers game is a quick, fun game that I’d been playing for a few years.
One sports sim venue that I’ve never tried is the Olympic Games, even just something as simple as the decathlon. Chiavini offers the full Olympics from a given year, with all the events played that year, so I decided to try the 1984 Summer Games from Los Angeles, California.
I should be getting the PDF via email in the next day or so. If I like this one I may get a Winter Games set (1980?) or maybe the 1992 Summer Games.
Stay tuned!
Welcome to the 1984 NASCAR Winston Cup Season!
February 19, 1984: Daytona 500 @ Daytona International Speedway.
Race results and current standings:
Real-life winner of this race was Cale Yarborough, his 2nd consecutive and 4th overall.
Your race winner, Richard Petty!
This would have been his 8th Daytona 500 win. His last 500 win (#7) was in 1981.
Next: the Miller High Life 400 @ Richmond Fairgrounds Raceway.
Stay tuned!
September 12, 1984: Pirates vs. Mets @ Shea Stadium
Final from Shea Stadium:
Main highlight of the game was an inside-the-park home run by Lee Lacy. I don’t think I’ve had that happen before in any of my table top games.
No decision for Gooden in the Mets’ win. Record stays at 19-2 (actual record: 16-8)
Next opponent: Gooden vs Rawley @ Veteran’s Stadium
Stay tuned!
I’m gonna try my best to finish this Gooden rookie season replay this weekend.
Truth be told, while I enjoy playing these games in general, I miss playing Ball Park Baseball. And I vowed to not to bounce around game systems unless I finish these smaller projects (less than 40 games).
So after I finish this one, it’s back to 1917 and 1967 for a while, and then I continue the John D’Acquisto rookie season replay.
Stay tuned!
