Year’s End Status Report

Posted on by

With 24 games to go, I seriously doubt that the 1967 Giants Season Replay will be completed by year’s end.  I’m too distracted to sit down and play those games right now.

Everything else is ‘play it by ear’, but the distractions will probably keep me from most if not all of my current replays.

We’ll see how it goes.

Stay tuned!

 

Heavyweight Tournament

I received the replacement parts for Title Bout II.  I had played two fights with the game when I first got it.

Joe Louis defeated Muhammad Ali in 15 rounds.

George Foreman defeated Joe Frazier in 15 rounds.

I’ve decided to set up 6 more fights and have the winners play each other, as my first boxing tournament.

The other match ups:

Stay tuned!

1909: On Hold

Posted on by

I came up with the rosters for the Deadball 1909 league, but then decided not to build it further for now, since I still have:

  • 1967 SF Giants season replay
  • 1917 MLB replay
  • 1921 NY Giants replay
  • 1967 Denver Broncos replay
  • 1958 NFL replay
  • 1979 Winston Cup replay
  • 2016 SCRAM season
  • 2016 SCRAM trucks season

on top of the Deadball 2018 SFBAL season.

That’s a lot of stuff. That list doesn’t even include the mini-replays (John D’Acquisto rookie season, Doc Gooden Cy Young season, various Giant-Dodgers replays, MLB Postseason replays, etc.).

And then there’s the occasional golf tournament, wrestling event and boxing match.

And the non-sports table top games.

So little time.

The Deadball 1909 season may or may not ever materialize.  At least not in the near future.

Stay tuned!

Indecision 2018

I want to finish my 1967 San Francisco Giants replay this year.

But I keep getting distracted with the desire to play Title Bout II and Deadball, and that’s just the sports-related games.

I’m trying to put together a tournament schedule with Title Bout II,, but I’m stuck choosing which boxers to use.

And I’m stalled with Deadball because if my desire to create an 8-team league from scratch, from player to team names.

Alas.

So little time.

Boxing: Frazier vs. Foreman

Posted on by

For my second bout in Title Bout II:

Result:

 

“DOWN GOES FRAZIER!  DOWN GOES FRAZIER!”

Foreman knocked down Frazier in the 7th round.  And despite finishing strong in the last 3 rounds, Frazier lost to Foreman based on points.

Next up: I’m thinking Larry Holmes vs. Lennox Lewis.

Stay tuned!
