Ace152 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Any of you other old guys play this growing up? I plan on picking a version up off ebay for my son this xmas. I had a late 70's version with superstars such as Mike Ivie, Enos Cabell, Dan Ford and Larry Hisle among others. oh, and of course a Babe Ruth disc.

sfgiantsflgators Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 that game is bad ***. those of you in the kansas city area, if you're lucky you can catch a broadcast of "cadeco all-star baseball" during kansas city t-bones rain delays, as sometimes the broadcasters will break out the game and have an impromptu match, usually the "former royals" v "all-time greats" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stecropper Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I think I owned and played all of those games through the '60s and early '70s. In fact I know I owned each that you listed plus many others as well. Strat-O-Matic was the only one that maintained my interest and it did so for years and years. APBA's football was a cut above Strat-O-Matic's football as was their Basketball game a cut above SOMs. But for Baseball ---- I honestly believe nothing even came close to Strat-O-Matic if you were at all interested in realism and game play.

stecropper Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Plus I think Strat-O-Matic is the ONLY game to be found at Cooperstown !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padres67 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I had a 1971 Sports Illustrated board game-with all-time greats for each of the 16 original teams. I owned an ABPA game from 1966. A few years ago I purchased the computer version of Strat-o-matic. I had certain years from the 50's and 60's. I also had all time teams. I quit playing it when I found MVP mods and began playing this. The board games will no longer hold my interest. Even the computer version of Strat-O-Matic is lame compared to the single season games that are now being produced in MVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace152 Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 I played alot of Statis-Pro when I got got older(early teens). That was pretty much my game up until Baseball Stars for NES was released. Once had a game vs my bro that he one-hit me with Charile Hough but still lost thanks to a Willie Wilson inside the park HR to leadoff the game. Did some searching on Google for ASB and found some disc creation stuff. http://www.tabletop-sports.com/modules.php...sdownload&sid=4 Check out Bonds' HR and BB zones for '01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash #25 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I played Strat-o-matic starting with 1962, and also APBA. I used my dad's mimeograph machine to create scoresheets. A kid has to really love baseball to play entire seasons in his head. Before that, I had one of those magnetic games, magnetic ball in a metal stadium with a spring loaded bat. I remember playing as the 1950s Yankees and Dodgers. Man, that game is prehistoric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
