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
