Strat-O-Football is the greatest game ever invented. Played Baseball 1st, and it was good also, but the Football game was unparalleled with how much control you, the coach, had. It should be mandatory for NFL coaches to play this. Many could learn playcalling and get over their conservative tendancies.

oh yes, are you talking about the one that had the numbers and if it landed in a certain area that was the result, for example #7 and #13 were singles, I remember Rod Carew had gigantic singles areas...The #1 straight up at the top was a home run, spoent many many summer days playing that game too! I believe it was called 'All-Star Baseball'.
:howdy:
OMG! Just did a quick search, they still make the game

Played it ALL the time!! My favorite was when you could buy the older seasons, 1970 being my favorite, the Reds were unreal, along with the Orioles.
Used to love those guys like Gorman Thomas who would have the HR's at 2 and 12 on the card LOL Didn't know back then about probablity and the likelihood of hitting those numbers and how 7 was most common, 7 STRIKEOUT was all over big home run hitters cards LOL
Then there were some pitchers who almost didn't ever give up a thing vs a particular side of the plate, but were destroyed by the other...
Good stuff.

The Barry Bonds Strat-o-Matic card from his 2001 season was hilarious. I saw it years after I had played my last Strat-o game, but I still remembered how the cards were layed out. It went something like..........
2-7

2-9
2-10
HOMERUN
1-4

1-6
1-7
WALK
1-8
1-9
HOMERUN
3-6
3-7

or something like that. Maybe someone here still plays it...........
