I started off with the stat o matic game with the cards. Over the years I have played Microleague baseball (commodore 64), Earl Weaver Baseball (early, early IBM type computer, and still the king IMO), Hardball for the PS 1, Diamond Mind Baseball (similar to stratomatic on the computer), and now to Out of the Park Baseball, a game where you can play historical, or make up your own fictional league (which I do with the small towns around here) and play as long as your want, with players being drafted, spending time in the minor leagues, developing, retiring, etc.
