Who's still around since OOTP 1?

Markus Heinsohn · 06-11-2008, 06:46 PM

Well, the topic says it all... who of you is one of the 260 people who bought the original OOTP 1?

StyxNCa · 06-11-2008, 06:59 PM

My first experience was a game I bought from Circuit City called "Season Ticket Baseball", which I think was version 4. I haven't played any other baseball game since. I also bought Season Ticket basketball.

06-11-2008, 07:01 PM

I started with OOTP 2. Does that count for anything?

swampdragon · 06-11-2008, 07:03 PM

I wasn't here for OOTP 1. I think my first was OOTP 3.

Matt Uk · 06-11-2008, 07:07 PM

Season Ticket Baseball for me too. Bought while on holiday in USA. I think a lot of people got into it on that one.

WIUPIKE · 06-11-2008, 07:21 PM

Cant say i got OOTP1, i think i started at 3 after someone had a demo copy and showed me the game

Recte44 · 06-11-2008, 07:21 PM

I started with OOTP3.

MorseMoose · 06-11-2008, 07:23 PM

I started in an online league when they were using OOTP3 (never bought the game...didn't even know about it). Just made lineup changes through email

.

Joined a OOTP4 league and someone bought me the game for doing some logos for him.

Bought OOTP5. Loved it.

Skipped OOTP6.

Bought OOTP2007

.

Three/Four clicks away from buying OOTP9.

You all clearly FAIL MISERABLY at reading comprehension.

munstermash · 06-11-2008, 07:24 PM

I am not sure when i started, I know I had OOTP 3 but I may of had 2.

Treches · 06-11-2008, 07:26 PM

Here. Purchased the game (still have the CD somewhere -wasn't the box white?) via Sean Lahman's website.

I've been around since OOTP1, and have purchased every version (including OOTP65). It's been a great ride !!!

Thank you Markus for all of your hard work and listening to the users. You've created something really special.

I started at OOTP3. I wish I had heard about it sooner.

strzepeksc · 06-11-2008, 07:32 PM

I started with OOTP3

I was playing Diamond Mind previously until I discovered OOTP3

What's reading comprehension?

BaseballMan · 06-11-2008, 07:38 PM

started with 2 after giving up the eye candy of triple play & high heat.
Baseball for windows was close to staying my favorite but ootp's career play converted me.

Dogzilla · 06-11-2008, 07:40 PM

I bought OOTP2, but honestly, I thought it sucked and stopped playing it after an hour.
I stayed away for a while, then I decided to give the franchise another chance and bought OOTP6, which was great.

Hello people, the question was "Who's still around since OOTP 1?"

Not "What version of OOTP did you start on?"

Learn to read and comprehend.

I actually got my start playing RBI baseball and Baseball Stars on the NES, and then upgraded to Baseball Simulator 1.000 on the NES.

I didn't start getting into computer sim baseball until right when 5 had jumped to 6.12 and I joined the MBBA.

Wait, what?
