As if I had time to start another replay that I’ll never finish, right?
Stay tuned!

Highlight Maker Hoops
PLAAY Games came out with a basketball game called Highlight Maker Hoops.
I picked it up along with the fictional Basketball League of America (BLAM) 2021-22 season.
As usual I’ve started by creating a league. It’s unnamed at the moment, but here are the teams:
Eastern Conferences:
New York Guard
Chicago Express
Cleveland Nets
Boston Commons
St Louis Bombers
Cincinnati Royals
Western Conference:
Denver Dynamos
Tulsa Bandits
San Francisco Pioneers
Phoenix Sunset
Kansas City Knights
Los Angeles Stars
I’m not sure if I’ll keep BLAM league name, but we’ll see.
Stay tuned!
New Year, New In Progress Chart
1991: NBA Finals, Game 1
So I finally pushed myself to learn how to play SSG Basketball, and play the first game of my alternate 1991 NBA Finals.
In this series, Golden State is facing off against Chicago.
6 minutes into the first quarter, the score is tied 21-21. Tim Hardaway has 8 points for the Warriors while Scottie Pippen has 10 for the Bulls.
I really like how easily this game seems to flow.
Stay tuned!
Current
Around my workstation/table top play area are the following games, waiting to be played.
- SSG Basketball
- Net Results Soccer
- Glory Days Boxing
- Face to the Mat
- B25 – Prince of the Skies
More hours in the day, or an extra day in the weekend.
I’ll get to all of them, along with the baseball and football and racing and hockey games.
Stay tuned!

In Progress, Revision to the Revised Revision of the Revision
Bah
While reading the rules for SSG Basketball I came to the realization that I didn’t want to have to print and cut out the game parts and FAC/timing deck. I watched an unboxing video and saw that the printed/physical game came with the deck and plenty of other stuff, like additional dice for markers used during play.
So I went and ordered the physical game and 1990-91 season set, the same things I just bought as PDFs.
Call it a loss in the ‘try before you buy’ category. The 1991 NBA Finals replay may turn into a full season replay with the Bulls or Warriors.
I’ve also decided that since I’m 2+ years out from my 50th birthday, my 1967 replays for basketball and (maybe) hockey are going to go on hold while I play other season replays that I’ve started.
Stay tuned!
1991: NBA Postseason?
Having read nothing but the first chart, I set up a Lakers-Warriors match up, rolled the dice (2d10 and 2d6, just like Payoff Pitch Baseball) to see who had control at tip off, rerolled for a shot, and Alton Lister missed a jumper. Sam Perkins grabbed the rebound and that’s where I stopped.
It can’t be THAT easy to play, can it?
I’ll read the full rules later today.
Stay tuned!
SSG Basketball
Since I appear to be 2-for-2 on games from Sideline Strategy, I decided to get the PDF version of their basketball game while it’s on sale.
I purchased the 1990-91 season along with it, and I’m going to attempt to rewrite history by playing a Finals series between the Chicago Bulls and the Golden State Warriors.
Hey, the Warriors made the playoffs that year, so why not?
Stay tuned!
