Gents, it's not just that.  They're selling an original reprint of Car Wars 
for $2.50 called "mini car wars".  Just looking at the graphics makes me wax 
nostalgic.

They're also selling "The Space Gamer" as a digital copy for $2.99 each.

There's a LOOSE POSSIBILITY that if these mini-game reissues sell that 
they'll reissue GEV, but we're not counting on it [just hopeful].

And he's re-issued "Man-to-Man" which is essentially Melee/Wizard updated 
and the first edition of GURPS, no idea what you all think of that, but as 
I'm tempted to buy it, please chime in with opinions.  And "Orcslayer" is 
also re-released for $2.99 digital.

These are GREAT DAYS for nostalgic gaming, friends!

An email to Steve Jackson years ago about re-issuing original Melee and 
Wizard resulted in the reply that all of the pocket games aren't his 
property and that the owner has been MIA from the gaming world for years. 
Also, that GURPS is a better design anyway, correcting some of the problems 
of Melee / Wizard.

I feel exactly the same way.  I believe I bought Ogre, Rivets and Melee
at the same time, and they really brought me into the world of games
beyond Monopoly and Risk.

Opening my copy last night gave me the full "squee" feeling I had 36
years ago opening the game for the first time.  Can't wait to punch those
counters for the first game!
