There were a few other games I didn't put in my list for the fact unless I played it consistently for 6 months it didn't make the list. Games like Mogul 99 (I think that was the first version) and Mogul 2001 (may have been 2002). I did enjoy those games...really like the new reporting...but in Mogul 99...I got turned off when there was a limit of how many HoFers you could have and it started deleting them...and with the newer version, it was the first one that they had MLPA license for, I just felt the license ruined the game...hated it...the points system....just a huge step back IMO.
I dabbled with a few games on the Nintendo and Super Nintendo, as well as being suckered into trying games like Triple Play and Microsoft Baseball (YIKES!!!) on the PC...lol....always had more interest in the text based games I think when it came to sports....although Earl Weaver, Baseball Pro, and High Heat were fun to play games with a controller for me as well.
And there were a few board games/card games that I just couldn't rememeber what they were about due to being so long ago....losing my memory already at 30 years old...lol

Yeah, I'm hitting 30 in a few months and I can't believe I've actually forgotten some of the things I have!
My experience with Triple Play was difficult. My birthday was coming up and my girlfriend didn't know what to get me. She was in a computer game store (figuring she'd find something there) with our mutual friend Scott. She was going to buy me something else - I can't remember what now, but it was something I would have liked - but Scott said "Hey, doesn't he like baseball? Why don't you get him this?" He showed her Triple Play 2001 (might have been 2002 or something - don't remember). She said "yeah" and gave it to me as the first gift she'd ever given me. She didn't know yet at that time that I wasn't into flashy graphics games.
Anyway, when she gave it to me, I was happy enough. I'd never played TP and figured I might as well give it a try. I was apalled at the lack of any sense of reality. I mean, it looked good, but there was nothing behind the pretty facade. Eventually she noticed that I wasn't playing it much. She felt bad about getting it for me and told me about the other game she almost got. I told her that no, I liked it, and started playing a little more when she was around.
Anyway, I ended up having to come clean about it to her because I just wasn't having much fun with it.
