The Table Top Sports Games of Chris Saguisag
I finally got around to trying out the soccer game from Inside Sports Games, Inside the Net.
Of course I played a North London Derby.
I didn’t track stats as I was just learning the game, so all I have is:
TOT 1-0 ARS
Kulusevski (PK) 80′
Yellow cards:
Zinchenko 73′
Hojbjerg 87′
This one flows and feels like watching a soccer game, more like APBA Soccer than Soccer Blast.
I have EPL 2023-24 and Bundesliga 2023-24 to play with, and I hope to get more plays in of this game.
Stay tuned!
I simply have no time to play complete seasons of teams/seasons that I’ve purchased over the years, and it’s about time I admit that to myself.
Except for racing, since those are relatively short seasons.
But as far as baseball, I will play out the 1921 and 1971 Giants season replays over time.
As for everything else, I’ll be playing shorter seasons/projects going forward.
I’m looking at doing no more than 40 games per any given team/season, which should give me plenty of play between a team and the rest of the league.
Football will be ‘as the spirit moves me’, as in I’ll play when time allows and with whatever team/season I feel like playing at the moment. Though I’ll probably still try to play out Elway’s rookie season.
Hockey, soccer and basketball: same, when I feel like it.
Golf, tennis, wrestling, boxing: also the same.
So many games (sport and non-sport), so little time.
Stay tuned!
As a side note, I seriously have to curb the number of ‘active’ projects I have going, and stick with games (and sports) that I like to play.
Baseball and racing will always have a spot in my rotation. Soccer and hockey take the next tier, with football and basketball lower on my list.
I also have golf, tennis, boxing, wrestling and lacrosse in various forms. Of those, I have to be in the right mood/mindset to play any of those. None of those games are ones I consider playing with a long-term ‘season’ or replay.
And then there’s the least played games: bowling, roller derby, demolition derby, and some interesting fictional sports. Someday, I keep telling myself.
I just started the 2013 SCRAM season, and the 2024 SCRAM/SCRAM-B sets arrived in the mail today. Yikes.
So yeah, I need to curb my habit, considering the vast amount of other hobbies I have and would like to pursue as well.
Stay tuned, I guess…
The San Francisco Fog was a Major Indoor Soccer League franchise which existed for only one season, 1980–1981.
– From Wikipedia
I picked up this shirt from American Retro Apparel, and it sent me on a search for a print-and-play tabletop indoor soccer game that I remember picking up a few years back.
I couldn’t find my printed copy, so I’m going to have to print a new copy of it.
I then went on a search for the schedule for the Fog’s 1980-81 season, to no avail.
So now I figure I’m just going to create a short schedule for the season and play it out with all the teams, not just the Fog.
No idea when this is going to get started.
Stay tuned!
I recently acquired a set of teams for APBA Soccer for the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League. Instead of replaying the actual schedule, I decided to have an alternate draw for the Round of 16.
Borussia Dortmund v. Roma
Barcelona v. Schalke 04
Paris-Saint Germain v. Athletico Madrid
Porto v. Liverpool
Bayern Munich v. Tottenham Hotspur
Manchester City v. Lyon
Real Madrid v. Ajax
Juventus v. Manchester United
Not sure when I’ll start this one, but the match ups should be interesting.
Stay tuned!
