Sporr needs to update his original post to include a few more versions.
By the way, all old versions are available here: Previous Versions of OOTP

Great stuff - love seeing the older versions. Started with v4, but love the v5 skin.

Tried v2, converted at v3
I tried out v2 and wasn't too thrilled--lots of crashes, but ended up being my system, not the game. Then when OOTP3 came out, I dove in head-first and loved every minute. I still remember doing an historical league that started in 1903 and I signed every significant future HOFer, winning maybe a dozen championships in 15 years.
No version since then has meant as much to me as OOTP3. But I'm hopeful that iOOTP will be a huge success. |

My first version was 3 back in the day. I had been a Baseball Mogul guy and then OOTP changed everything. The kitchy fun of Mogul always made me overlook how bizarrely inaccurate it was. OOTP, even in version 3, was years beyond its time.
Even though the newer interface and versions confuse the heck out of me still...I can appreciate how awesome it is. |

OOTP 6 is what got me hooked into baseball sims. Thank you guys for making the best game out there.

I started with v4 and then 6 & 6.5 which is my favorite still of the bunch. It wasn't too busy and you didn't spend hours reading. I later tried v7 when it was cheap and the last one I got was v10 and am now waiting to buy another when he adds ANIMATED player graphics of some sort. I'd be happy with MicroLeague Baseball Manager type graphics but just something as just watching pictures of players on the bases and they don't even animate running from one to the other just isn't enough. Plus that little ball that doesn't even animate well what's happening isn't any good either. I'd love to see Front Page Sports Baseball type graphics and howlers in the stands shouting "HE AIN'T NUTIN" or Popcorn getcha Popcorn. lol Man I loved FPSBB 98. Can't get it to run without crashing on these modern day puters and OS's though.

I was browsing the forums today. I wish I could access my old account (I've e-mailed tech about it so we'll see).
I was going through the old timers that I remembered from back in the day since it's been 2 versions (X) since I last bought and quite a few versions since I was really into the game. Some of the names jumped off the member list but sadly it seems that a lot of old timers have moved on. Here's a who's who...love em or hate em...they were a core of the OOTP community. At least they were major board members that I remember from memory lane... Steve Kuffrey Subby Spleen1015 sixto canadiancreed Malleus Dei Gastric ReFlux Tiger Fan Green & Gold Heart Draft Dodger TC Dale holyroller IatricSB (where is Stacy Bond...he's just disappeared) treedom Hammer755 Hopefully, they are still around in another incarnation. |

Did he? OK, maybe some of these guys are around with new forum names like I had to do.
Was funny, I was talking to a friend of mine that I met through OOTP and he knew Steve pretty well and asked me if he was still on the forums. That's what made me start looking around today for the old timers. |

Some of us just don't post as much as we used to.
Some of us have not bought version 13 yet, and since all previous versions are set in stone, there's not much to say. But this is still the only forum I check every time I come online.

Soon, I can imagine this gravitating to include a list of old-timers we wish didn't still frequent the boards.

5's look using the green/brown skin is still the classic look for me.

The first one I got was 8 in 2010 because that was the most recent free version I could find. (Hey I was only 11). Now I have played 12 and 14 and enjoy them. Easily some of the best games I have played

Kuffey's around in a limited profile So is spleenie, think he's mianly at the FOFC or OTBA forums now MD left for Puresim after no-one beleived he was the forums deity or something Don't know what happened to Tiger Fan...did he write the chronicles of O'Farrell? Think Draft Dodger's writing for the Colorado Avalanche blog on SBNation TC Dale posted a few weeks ago IatricSB morphed into pion, who eventually left after the great OT schism of 2011 (or something like that) Quote:

Wow, Malleus brings back some memories

Funny, that this is my first post in over a year.
I never posted a lot but I am part of that early 2002 forum class. I think the forums join dates start in Dec 2001. Can't believe it has been 12 years this month since I found this place. I like a lot of people came over from Mogul and haven't looked back except I almost left when they switched to the Football Manager UI but I survived that and stuck it out.

I don't post that often but I have purchased every version since I joined (2002) and I am loving 14 and really looking forward to version 15! This game stole me away from what I once considered the best sports simulation ever, Diamond Mind Baseball, which I first started playing as Pursue the Pennant PC Baseball in 1987!
I really enjoy historical replays (circa 1966) as it reminds me of my youth
