How did you FIRST find out about Baseball Mogul or Football Mogul?

How did you find out about Baseball Mogul 2002?

(Feel free to post to further describe the exact site or circumstance)

Thanks!

Clay

Read about it in the local newspaper. (Town Newspaper, not boston globe or anything)

I saw it in The Hartford Courant way back before BBM '99...back when you were still iMonkey. I think they ran a review of the game last year also.

I bought it at Software Etc. at the mall...I got a free football mogul too!

I usually accept PC Gamer's opinion as close to gospel truth. When they gave it a great rating I had to get it.

Prior to Mogul99, I had been creating historical universes with the Tony LaRussa series. I bought Nick Keren's Ultimate Utilities in order to make my work easier and heard about Baseball Mogul via his website and went to stores trying to find it. Like Tom, I finally found BM99 bundled with Football Mogul in a Software, Etc.

Found out about it at a Abandonware site:www.theunderdogs.org, the site said that you all gave them permission to put it up, although I would have downloaded it regardless:D

That's great! I was hoping we might get some free press from letting them offer the older version for download.

I first heard about it from downloading a demo from Excite Demo games (I believe). It was the '99 Demo. It was the greatest baseball game I had ever played. I played so many seasons even though I could only play one at a time with the Demo. I tried to find a full version but couldn't, so I had to wait patiently for 2000 to come out. The rest is computer chair history, as my butt's been planted in mine playing the game religiously. I can't wait till the next version comes out....2k2 has been great.

I learned about BM from a member of a Royals chat room. He said the game was great and I should give it a try. I did and the game is awsome.

I signed up and was accepted to be a beta tester for the original Baseball Mogul. However, when I received the package in the mail I was asked to pay $20-some for it. I didn't pay it and instead wrote to Clay about it who then removed me from the beta testing group.

cheers,

I found out about it in a forum or newsgroup, don't remember which. Actually was a beta-tester for the original game and throughout the first year. Wish I had as much time now as I did then to play all the great sports sims out.

Ah well...

That's weird. I'm interested in what happened. What did you get sent in the mail that they asked you to pay for?

Hmmm....

If i remember correctly, I found out about Baseball Mogul 2002 from a site called www.smallball.com they had(have) a banner that links to the Sports Mogul website...I encourage anyone and everyone here to try out SmallBall! :cool:

I can't answer the poll, because I never heard of Baseball Mogul. I was wandering the computer games aisle at my local Wal Mart, hoping I'd find a new sports game from EA Games on sale. There were none, but I did see Baseball Mogul 2003, and the price was right for experimenting. So I plunked down the cash, brought the game home, and have been addicted since. That was in June.

Note that I'm not a baseball fan in real life. I can never seem to enjoy sitting and watching the game for three or four hours. It tends to be a difficult game to enjoy with bad eyesight. But with sports mogul games, you are right in the thick of things, you don't actually PLAY the game, you make the intelligent decisions that keep the games running. I think that's the best way to play :)
