Future Plans

Posted on by

I plan on continuing the following ongoing replays:

Baseball
1921 NY Giants (Payoff Pitch Baseball)
1971 SF Giants (Ball Park Baseball)
Soccer
2015-16 Tottenham Hotspur (APBA Soccer)
2020-21 AFC Richmond (Dice United)
Racing
1984 Winston Cup (Red White & Blue Racin’)
2012 SCRAM (Red White & Blue Racin’)
Football
1960 Denver Broncos (Fast Drive Football)
1967 Denver Broncos (Second Season/Second Season Express/Inside Blitz/Grid Iron Wars)

At some point I plan on adding hockey and basketball into the mix, as time permits.  I just have to decide which replays to include:

Hockey
1966-67 NHL (Hockey Blast)
1969-70 Oakland Seals (Hockey Blast)
1991-92 San Jose Sharks (APBA)
2013-14 IHL (Hockey Blast, fictional)
2022-23 Central Cities League (Stone Cold Hockey, fictional)

Basketball
1960-61 Syracuse Nationals (Bank Shot Basketball)
1966-67 San Francisco Warriors (Inside the Paint)
2022-23 Basketball League of America (Highlight Maker Hoops, fictional)

And of course I’ll be tracking all the games right here.

Stay tuned!

For my next trick

I’m going to revisit APBA Hockey, since I seem to be enjoying the APBA Soccer Game so much.

I think I have the 1995-96 season, for some reason.

1995-96 Upper Deck #134 Jeff Friesen - The Dugout Sportscards & Comics | Beckett Marketplace

Jeff Friesen’s first full year with the Sharks?

Anyways, if I can get through a game of that without complaints, I may get an updated copy of that game.

Stay tuned!

1969-70: Seals Season, Game 1

Posted on by

It begins!

The one thing I discovered when playing out this first game is that overtime didn’t exist until the 1983-84 season.  Prior to that, tied games after 3 periods ended in a tie.

Like this one.

Final from Civic Arena:

I’m keeping things simple, stat wise, with just the score and who scored the goals.

Next up: the Chicago Black Hawks.

Stay tuned!

1967: NHL

Posted on by

As if I didn’t have enough sports replays on my plate, I decided to expand the 1966-67 Toronto Maple Leafs replay into a full NHL season replay, which is about 210 games long.

My reacquaintance with PLAAY’s Hockey Blast has me wanting to play more hockey, but we’ll see if I can fit it in to my non-existent play schedule.

Perhaps I need to create one of those die-roll decider tables again.

I managed to play game one of the 1966-67 NHL season, but I may replay the game  because I wasn’t happy with the way I was chronicling the game itself.

So though Detroit beat Boston 4-1 in that first game, I’m wiping the slate clean and will start the season over.

    

Stay tuned!

1967: Maple Leafs Replay, Game 1

Posted on by

At last, a hockey replay is underway!

Final from Maple Leaf Gardens:

The penalties feature in this game is weird, in that there’s a letter assigned to a penalty, and all players with that letter get a penalty, but there’s only a single power play per ’round’ of penalties, if that makes sense.  It’s for statistical purposes.

You also assign the penalty type yourself, arbitrarily.

The game is simple enough, and plays fast, which nowadays is a feature that I favor.

Next up: Leafs go to Madison Square Garden for a rematch with the Rangers.

Stay tuned!

Shoot-Out Hockey

Posted on by

I bought this game in January 2020, printed out the rules, charts, and the 1967-68 team cards.

I meant to give it a whirl but then the pandemic hit and the game went unplayed and forgotten.

A week ago I was browsing the Delphi Table Top Sport Games forum and there was a topic about games that exceeded player’s expectations, and a few people were singing the virtues of Shoot-Out Hockey, so I checked it out online, and then checked my ‘Other Sports Games” folder and found the PDFs of the game,

I started printing out the rules but then remembered that I had already printed everything that I had ordered over a year ago.

I finally went over the rules earlier this week, and managed to play a game.  For a quick play (15 minutes) game, it’s got a lot of depth to it.

In a classic matchup of the Habs vs. Leafs, Montreal tied the game 2-2 late in the 3rd period and went on to win 3-2 in overtime.

Today I played Chicago vs. Detroit, and Stan Mikita scored the game-winning goal a couple of minutes after Gordie Howe scored the tying power play goal halfway into the 3rd period.  Final score: Hawks over Wings, 4-3.

This is a fun game.

I went and ordered a couple more seasons, 67-68 (expansion) and 93-94 (Sharks first winning year).

I may finally get my 1966-67 Toronto Maple Leafs replay started, along with 1967-68 Flyers and 1993-94 Sharks,

Stay tuned!

New Year, New In Progress Chart

Sure, let’s add the 1947 49ers replay, and put the 1967 Warriors replay back on the schedule.

Stay tuned!
