I don't know if anyone remembers the Monday Night Football with the mini records that you popped into this fake radio, but I used to play that and keep stats.
I also invented a wrestling game with some regular dice and a quarter because I used to watch WCCW (world class championship wrestling) as a kid. I made up my own system and rolled dice to determine the moves and stuff... I played that for hours. And of course I kept track of wins and losses and who had the titles. The funny thing is WCCW actually did come out with a board game and one of my childhood's friend's father thought mine was better.
Yes there was not much to do in Zephyr but work on a farm.
