Was it Strat-o-Matic that had player discs?

Was cleaning some cabinets and came across some old player discs that I think was from the Strat-O-Matic spin baseball game. Brought back some memories from when I and my brothers would play for hours. Anyone else play this game as a kid?

I used to play Cadaco All-Star baseball that had player discs. Still have the game and many of the discs.

would also play for hours. kinda remember it being cards and you threw dice rather than spin. but that was many, many years ago.

Didn't play that game, but the vibrating football "field" featuring players that "ran" endlessly in circles regardless of how well the play was designed was extremely frustrating.

Strat-O-Matic had/has player cards, not discs.



Cadaco had player discs.

Those are the discs so it must have been Cadeco. Was really fun because you could be GM and Manager at the same time.

I had that one too. Just like real football. 4 minutes to set it up for 30 seconds of action

Friend of mine had this Mag-Power football game.


It was great...controlled the players from under the field with magnetized sticks.

My favorite game was the hockey game where you controlled the players with the rods that pulled in and out.
