Topic: Maps and Games

Howdy friends.  There was some discussion on the mail list about map rallies and I was hoping we could continue that discussion here in a variety of levels.

I've run both the St. Valentines Day Massacre and the Old Maltese Circum-Navigational.  Had a good time with both.  Found them interesting, challenging and fun.  I can still quote my favorite sections from years gone by.

I also have a variety of rally board games and they are:

Checkpoint!
Rally 6
Rally Round
Stirling Moss Rally
Waddington's Rally
Heathway Rally Game
an old Kellogg's rally game on a sheet of paper

And you?

Re: Maps and Games

I assume you are talking about a 'board game' like Monopoly, etc., and not a 'rally board' game?  I've not seen one of those yet.

Re: Maps and Games

Is there anything for PC?  I have a driving simulator ( steering wheel & pedals) I could use, and it would be cool to do rallies during the off-months.  Maybe I could practice & get better?   lol

Not the Colin McRae stuff.  the kids have a PS3 with crack-em-up games!   big_smile

The paper games sound interesting.  You could pass them out at club meetings.

Re: Maps and Games

There were two computer based TSD games.

1. Jack Matheson of SMSCC wrote a game/tutorial for following MRDs on the Apple II. Simple overhead maze grid. When you start it asks if you want to include Protection. Otherwise it just T rule and SAP. The game starts out with the car moving 20mph, you have until it gets to the next intersection to move the joystick/arrow buttons the correct direction (based on the MRDs displayed at the top of the screen.) After 30/45? seconds there's a beep, the MRDs change and the speed goes up 1mph. Game gets real fast over 40mph.

2. John Stenmark wrote an IBM PC based POV driving game. You had printed route instructions and as signs & intersections loomed up you had to decide which way to turn, what speed to enter on the rally computer on the dash and if as pause needed to be added. Don't know how many rallyes were provided. The program was on a copy protected 5"1/4 disk so probably no one a working copy any more.
