Oh, do I remember those days as well, as a young kid in the early / mid 1970's.
Back then I used a deck of playing cards to simulate games. Spades were ground outs, Clubs fly outs, Diamonds Strike Outs, Hearts A-6 single, 7-9 double, 10 triple and face hearts were HRs. reshuffled each inning. Kept stats in a note book until the eraser wore holes through the paper, all the while dreaming of the day someone would make some kind of machine that would make it a little easier to tabulate and have cool logo graphics. I knew it would happen someday.
At some point I got a game as a birthday present called All Star Baseball. It used round player cards like a pie chart that you put in a holder and spun a spinner over to get the result. That was a good fun game. Stats were a little high though because all the players were all-stars.
Puresim is exactly the game I dreamed of back then and I love it. Shaun has done an awesome job. I can't praise him enough. He must have been dreaming the same things as a boy. But you know, thinking back, in all honesty, I kind of had more fun with the playing cards. The computer does so much of the work that some times, I kind of get bored just clicking the mouse. With that said though, I wouldn't trade this game for anything and am eagerly awaiting the next version.
