The Operation Sports Text Sim Encyclopedia

[RaychelSnr]

Welcome to the first edition of the Operation Sports Text-Sim Encyclopedia. This will be the most comprehensive database of sports text sims out there, and it is being made available to you free of charge. We will also be going door-to-door selling hardcover versions for $29.95, so consider yourself lucky to get the online version for free. The staff at Operation Sports has put years of research into this project. Marriages were strained, families torn apart. A lot of cheap beer was consumed.

Was it all worth it? Oh yeah! Where else are you going to find links to a dirt-track motorcycle racing and a handball text sim? However, before paging through the encyclopedia, be sure to read the disclaimer.

Good starting list. Nice to see the text sims getting some more love on OS.

How do you omit the king of all text sims STRAT-O-MATIC??? Baseball, Football, Basketball, Hockey, and College Football.

There is no other PC text sim that is based on an original board game with cards and dice that produces such fantastic sim results and still has a fun factor.

This is a game company that has a cult following, your list is incomplete with out it, in fact leaving it off the 1st incarnation of the list has rendered your list moot...."Good Day Sir."

Go back and read the disclaimer. I have informed our door-to-door salesman to no longer stop at your house.

For the rest of you, keep suggesting titles I omited, preferable without the snarky comments

If you have TEW, you have to have EWR, the father of all wrestling text sims.

And yes, there are many professional handball leagues, especially in Continental Europe

Thanks Adam, this is a great list. I was wondering if there was a possibility you could put "PC", "Mac" or "Both" after the name at the end of the sentence. That would make it easier to choose. If you can't, no big deal, and thank you for creating this list.

Solid list. Wasn't aware there was a golf sim game until I saw this list. :P

Thanks for the mentions of Wolverine Studios programs, one little update is we are continuing to develop and Brian Van Wyk is coding an update to Face Off Hockey.

Kind of a simulation of sorts for Nascar or racing enthusiasts. Go head to head against other guys online and try to fine tune you race car for your "driver". It's kind of addicting I must say so myself.

Diamond Mind Baseball...sort of ceases to exist now.

Version 10 I believe is about to be released. They got taken over by a larger company.

I think the old website still works....I'll post the url when I get home (don't have it on this computer.

Was a damn good game though.

We need an updated one of these lists
