New entry for PBM List: The Double From: lindahl@rt.com (Greg Lindahl) Date: Sun, 06 Oct 1996 00:00:00 +0000 Name: The Double Email: 100117.1414@compuserve.com Type: Soccer Simulation Cost: UK1.25 Duration: 22 turns per season Frequency: 7 days GM: Computer Moderated URL: http://www.tightbeam.com/pagoda/dbl.htm Last-Update: 1 October 1996 Status: positions available in existing leagues Keywords: commercial, open-ended, snail, email, gui, computer, sports, modern Description: This is a unique soccer simulation, combining Fantasy football and the more traditional strategy style pbm football game. Managers buy and sell real life players using an extensive transfer system, with players being given a skill rating which can then be improved through coaching. Each turn the manager will select his team which will play two games. The first is based on their players real life performance in the same vein as fantasy football simulations. The second match features a complex formula, using the players skill ratings and the tactics chosen by the manager. The aim of the game is to create a team that can win both matches week in, week out. Each league features 36 teams split into 3 Divisions and over 1500 real life players are included in the players database. Each turn managers can coach players, scout their opposition, dabble in the transfer market and improve their ground facilities. A GUI is in development that will allow managers to play completely via email. Company: Pagoda Games PO BOX 5155 TAMWORTH STAFFORDSHIRE B77 4QQ ENGLAND [ This is a new entry for the PBM List.
