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

The main change is putting the 1967 Warriors on hold, along with the 1988 Mets (revisited) replay.  I anticipate playing a soccer game with PSV soon, and hopefully starting basketball and hockey in the coming weeks.

Stay tuned!

Surprise!

Another game that’s been sitting on my shelf for a couple of years, I finally sat down with and learned how to play Grid Iron Wars.

OH. MY. GOD.

It’s probably one of the simplest sports games I’ve ever played, mainly because it relies so heavily on the APBA die-roll convention (2 d6, 11-66 result range)

I played 1/2 a game between the 1997 Denver Broncos and the 1997 San Francisco 49ers, and it flowed pretty smoothly, with about as many chart look-ups as other football games that I’ve played.

I liked how the game felt, play by play, with an almost quick play feel to it.

I’ll try to finish up the current game tomorrow, and then start a college game, which is one reason I wanted to learn how to play this one.

Though I do have Yet Another Game™ coming in later this week.

Stay tuned!

In Progress, Revised Revision

I’m having so much fun playing Net Results Soccer that I’ve decided to make it my primary soccer sim, and Soccer Blast my secondary.  The top three soccer replays listed are played with Net Results, the last one played with Soccer Blast.  Final Score and The Beautiful Game are being semi-permanently shelved.

The tables now reflect the priority that I place in playing these replays.  Baseball, soccer, and auto racing are my top played games.  I haven’t touched football in almost 3 years, and have yet to start basketball or hockey.

Baseball season sims (1917, 1921, 1971) are all Ball Park Baseball, short projects are played with History Maker Baseball (D’Acquisto ’74) and Inside Pitch (Gooden ’85).

Racing sims are all Red White & Blue Racing.

Football (Broncos ’67) is split between Inside Blitz and Second Season.  The Harbaugh ’90 project is played with Second Season.

Basketball (Warriors ’67) will be played with Inside the Paint.

Hockey will be played with Inside the Crease (Leafs ’67) and Hockey Blast (2014 quarter finals).

Stay tuned!
