Everyone talking about the good ol' days thought I would post this right 
quick.

I do not know the legallity of possession of any of these items, I can 
just say I aquired these over the years.  Not sure from where, but they 
are out there.  Google - The Way Back Machine and that is a good 
starting point.  I know besides these items I have found all of the old 
Space Gamers (well 80%+) of em in pdf as well as Compute and several 
other magazines from the late 70's and early 80's.

Microgames from Microgaming


And TFT Games


All of these pdf's that I have found were made from EXCELLENT CONDITION 
copies and are great pdf's.

Several years ago, well now that I look at things closer to ten years 
ago, I went to CRAZY EGOR'S GAME EMPORIUM and bought a lot of the old 
Microgames and have them in unopened packages in a box that I pull out 
from time to time and drool over.  I purchased used editions at the same 
time that I could play.  In 2012 he had to sell his big store and 
discontinued his want list.  However, he still runs an ebay store which 
has tons of great materials still.

http://www.crazyegors.4t.com/ is the base website with some notes, etc.
http://stores.ebay.com/Crazy-Egors is his ebay store. (Talk about drooling).

I also do a lot through www.DrivethroughRPG.com they have reprint rights 
to publish some of the older games in pdf.  I got the original Traveller 
series through them.

Just keep your eyes open and hearts wanting and you will find things 
that bring back the good ol' days.

Always enjoyed running Melee/Wizard as strictly a hack-n-slash quick 
in/out game session and never used it for roleplaying.  At one time my 
group would sometimes substitute Melee/Wizard combat rules in AD&D and 
Twilght 2000 games in order to make things progress quicker.  So much 
that can be done with the old games.  I remember using Micromachine cars 
for CAR WARS, they were 1" in length and fit the CAR WARS scale rules 
perfectly.  We would use an old train table with roads, tracks, city 
buildings etc to run our CAR WARS games on.  Talk about realism, so much 
more than many minatures used way back then.

Anyway, THANK YOU EVERYONE for giving me some repreive from the daily 
grind and bringing back so many great memories.

Take care and HAVE FUN!  Life is to short to worry about Would of, Could 
of, Should of, just do it and have fun doing it and that is all that 
matters.

Kevin
