Football

Posted on by

Al Wilson released a free print-n-play football game.

Fast Drive Football is a drive-by-drive quick play game.  Each possession/drive is resolve with a single roll of the dice, using charts much like many PLAAY games like History Maker Baseball.

I downloaded the rules, charts, and all the seasons available (more added periodically), and printed the 1960, 1972, and 1981 seasons.

I’ll give it a spin soon, after I go over the rules.  If I have time I may replay the entire 1960 Broncos season, even though I’m going to start with their week 2 opponents as a ‘tutorial’.

And it may be obvious which teams seasons I’ll try to replay for the other two seasons that I printed out.

Stay tuned!

So.

I have to get off my ass and get back to what I started 4 years ago, the 1967 replays.

It’ll happen.  Hopefully sooner rather than later.

That 49ers replay may or may not start before Super Bowl LIV.

As for the other type of football:

These replays will get as much attention as I can muster, when not busy/distracted.  I’m less inclined to play the 2008-09 replay due to the fact that Spurs did so poorly that season, and the game engine for Net Results Soccer is slightly different for 2008-09 than from the 2017-18 seasons.  It can get a bit confusing.

Basketball and hockey have never been started, so no need to make a post about either of those sports replays.

Stay tuned!

Ultra Quick Football

Apparently I acquired this game as well, 4 years ago, probably when I was planning out some replays.  I also had the 1980s NFL and 1990s CFL sets.

But like many other games from that time, it went unplayed.

So now I’m going to incorporate this game into my football replays, same as how I plan to do it with Ultra Quick Soccer.

I picked up the “History of the AFL” and NFL 1960s and 1970s sets to cover all the other football season replays that I plan on playing.

Stay tuned!

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

Stay tuned!

1947?

Posted on by

I was curious about the early days of the San Francisco 49ers, and an internet search later I discovered that they had started in the All-American Football Conference, not the NFL.

So of course I looked around to see if any table top sports games that I owned had any seasons available from the AAFC (1946-1949).

The oldest I could find was the 1947 AAFC season for Grid Iron Wars.

I may play this season using the 49ers and the Buffalo Bills.

Stay tuned!

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!
