Do you remember the first time you played?

My brothers and cousins had played D&D for about a year in the early 80's.  We all enjoyed it, but the combat always seemed a little odd.  One day while looking through the local hobby store I found these small boxed games that were only $3 each!!  Putting down the D&D module, I decided to pick up Melee and Wizard, getting 2 games and still saving a buck to go play in the arcade next door. Joust baby!

The rules were concise, easy to learn, and deadly.  We had a couple coliseum style battles later that day and eventually began to use it in our D&D campaigns.  

For whatever reason none of us liked Wizard too much and we never adopted it.  Mainly  because of the limit on throwing missile spells in the first turn.  We all thought it was a bad system if you couldn't use your best offense spells to start, and the "Conan" the wizard syndrome bothered us all.  


Cheers!
