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.Quote:

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

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 :)

Believe it or not, I found out about BBMO while sifting through game reviews. (amazon.com) I had bought Season Ticket Baseball (Out of the Park) and was checking out the reviews of it online where I noticed some guy had posted his approval of the game. In his comments he also mentioned BBM and the fact that it had an online game. That intrigued me so I did a search for it and found the Sports Mogul website. And here I am today with a new addiction. :)
I came across baseball mogul 99' by searching for it in a search engine (google or maybe it was excite back in 99'). I LOVED the demo version and went to best buy when it was released in SEPT. Baseball Mogul was no where to be found in the chicagoland area. I was dissapointed to say the least. Everytime I went to Best Buy, Wal Mart exc. I would check and see if it had arrived. None of my stores carry it, so I eventually forgot about it untill a year or so ago, when the online baseball game I was playing (grandslam baseball) went under and someone in the forums said they found this cool new baseball sim. I had just missed the demo testing of BMO and decided to let the bugs get worked out before joining your game.
I have been very happy with this game, but I would love to see some of the features from the cd-rom game added to the online game. One of my favorite things about the cd rom game was the unpredictability of the players and their agents. You couldn't just assume they would sign with you. the player had to WANT to sign with you and you had to offer him a contract and see what the agent thought. I LOVED that and am VERY dissapointed to not see that in the online version. It adds an aspect of realism that seperates it from just another baseball sim. The other cool feature was the player position graphic. Seeing your players name in right field, center field exc. adds another depth of realism that makes the cd rom game so great. The online game could use a little more realism to make it truely the elite simulation game it can be.
keep up the good work.
I found a demo of Baseball Mogul 2002 on www.gamerevolution.com and downloaded it, took two hours too. But it was worth it, and I continuously found about Mogul 2003 from this site, and I bought it from Wal-Mart.
I was browsing through the upcoming games on www.gamesages.com and saw this game and it interested me. I bought it after reading the review
I found out form a friend of mine who had 2002, and when '03 cam out we all downloaded it form him
is anyone here in highshcool?
i am
and i have a laptop
and i must say that i played 2002 for all of freshman year, it made te most boring class fun
i would alwyas hide my computer screen so my techer couldn't see
me and my friends would build dynatsy after dynasty
even making crappy teach such as "the Vermont Fudgepacers" (i'm from New Hampshire if you can't tell why i hate vermont, "Vermont, the state that makes New Hampshire nervous", just to clear things up we in NH make fun of vermonts gay marriages but thats off topic.)
But when '04 came out
we were all like little school girls meeting the new Senior Pretty boy
i almost peed my pants i was so happy
so we split the money 3 ways
and baught it
and i must say that if baseball mogul doesn't live on
i will do everything in my power to aid the wonder GODS THAT HAVE SAVED MY HIGHSCHOOL LIFE, in maintaining this buisness
WHO'S WTH ME?
i found bm2k3 online at Gamestop.com, I was looking for a baseball video game, and i guess matches come up on the right hand side of the screen....saw baseball mogul 2k3!
Bobby
I was looking for a baseball game where you could be the general manager, and sure enough mogul came up on google.
This an Old Poll.
I found the Original Demo in 99 on a Sport Demo CD.
This CD was found in Australia too!
I have,and I had bought back in the day---The original baseball Mogul for windows 95 by infinite monkey systems, back in 1997/98. I think I had originally found the game thru some internet search engine/and or review site. I was messing with Microsoft's Baseball 98 with randy johnson on the cover. I just recently found the game in some boxes, and it rekindled my thoughts as to what had happened to the game. No comparing version 7 with that original---version 7 is miles and miles from that original. But I still have it!
I happened across Baseball Mogul on Amazon.com. I saw Football Mogul here on the SM website, but as I just posted on one of the Football threads I'm waiting for an upgraded version to jump into that one. Looks like I may be waiting awhile (?!!).
IT is actually on Version 9 now.Quote:

2k1 wasn't released. Due to the publisher falling out. My best experience with SPorts Mogul was on Baseball Mogul Online. It is were the most enthusiastic players play. They are on this site for upwards of 6-8 hrs a day..playing the game :)
I walked into a Radio Shack and saw it in the discount bin! Hooked!!!!
Walked into a radio shack and found a sale on bm2k3....bought it and was hooked.....picked up 2k5 and now 2k7
You are the king bobby
I saw it at Wal-Mart, and the box made it look really, really worth buying and it was. And like another poster mentioned, I hadn't followed baseball since the 95-96 strike, I was really turned off from the game after that , being the Astros looked series bound that year. I bought the game mainly because of the 90 years of rosters.
I want to say I read about it in Computer Gaming and then downloaded the demo - I would think that's probably 99 % accurate, but that was four years ago.
Bought 2003 Baseball Mogul game on eBay.
I found it on a p2p program..downloaded it...loved it...and have happily purchased the game ever since. I always count down the days till the next release or patch.
someone on aol told me about it then i bought the 2000 version and have bought nearly every year since except maybe 2004
Found it back in 2001. I think I was trying to find an old board game version of Pursue the Pennant or something like that. Been a faithful purchaser and player ever since.
Your poll doesn't include my scenario. I was just looking through the games at London Drugs (specificly, non-action games) and thought I might enjoy this. Tried it, liked it, bought Football Mogul.
Underdogs.com, an abandonware site, has BM1997 (apparently with permission.) I really enjoyed it, so I did a web search to see if the company was still alive. :)
I had actually seen Mogul 200x at Wal-mart and wondered if I should have purchased it. After getting tired of running baseball sims in Front Page Sports: Baseball '97, someone had mentioned OOTP. When researching it and talking with online peeps, had heard about Mogul again.
hey thanks steve!, actually you are :DQuote:
