I resisted OOTP for many years because I was afraid it would swallow up my time. Finally got OOTP 15, and it did.
I started with APBA in 1965, but the best dice and paper game I ever played was a little bare bones affair called Extra Innings baseball in the seventies — they gave you the formula to create your own players from official stats in that one.
In the eighties, I learned the basics of programming in Pascal by trying to create my own game. It only had two teams, the '61 Yankees and an early Mariners team, but it worked. I had many plans to expand it, but I had to give up when APBA came out with its computer game and it was so much better than mine. A few years later, though, I created another game in Excel, which also only had two teams. (I did that one at work.)
