Just curious is all.
I strictly mean the original board games, which can also include Statis Pro, APBA, Replay Publishing, Replay Manager, Pursue the Pennant, etc..
I'm not including the PC manager games that have a large audience in Europe.
I was always a big fan of Strat-O-Matic Hockey since I purchased my first set containing the (then recent) 86/87 season teams/players. The game caught my eye at my local comic book store, who also sold many non-mainstream board games (Avalon Hill type for example) and during this period of NES and Commodore 64, I was amazed that a board game existed that followed the strategy of the sport so closely.
I've never played any of the games from Strat's competition, mainly because I was never a baseball fan and while Strat's flagship game was their baseball simulator, they also had Football and Basketball.
I've purchased other seasons through the years and once in a while still play it.
I've never played the computer version, I always stuck with the board game.
