Wargames from my parent's basement

[Jack Nastyface]

Whilst visiting my parents in Calgary, I found the following:

Ram Speed:  Microgame of rowed galley warfare:  https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/3561/ram-speed
Space Warrior:  Argon Games of man-to-man inner-starship combat:  https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/4732/space-warrior
Car Wars: Deluxe Edition:  https://boardgamegeek.com/image/135704/car-wars
Gamma World:  rules only, but somehow I found the time to manually type (on an IBC Selectric, IIRC) all the combat tables:  https://rpggeek.com/rpg/261/gamma-world-1st-edition
Skull and Crossbones:  complete, in box:  https://rpggeek.com/rpgitem/45030/skull-crossbones
Dungeons and Dragon, Basic first set edition:  https://rpggeek.com/rpgitem/45783/dungeons-dragons-basic-set-first-edition
EDIT:  also found the ziplock bag version of "Gondor" by SPI.  I am going to have to play this one when I get home.
Also...a box of Ral Partha minis...mostly painted.  Maybe I'll post some pics this afternoon.

LOL!  I remember Skull & Crossbones. 

Never knew anyone else who owned it until now.

Cool find! My mother kept giving away all my stuff while I was away a university..... including thousands of Lego pieces....  :'(

I still have Car Wars and every expansion, in two banker's boxes. I even mounted the Midville maps, both east and west.

I had Gamma World at one point but it has gone missing from my collection.... might have sold it....  :P

I just found my complete copy of Gamma World a couple of weeks ago. We always used my friend's set, so mine is pretty pristine!

WTF Mom??!  That's not cool. 

If my mother had given away my stuff when I was in college (*especially* my Lego sets), I'd have gone berserk.

Digging through some boxes today and I found my plastic boxed version of Steve Jackson's G.E.V., the one with the glossy, color map. I haven't sorted through it yet, but I did see that I also stashed the Shockwave rules in the box, leading me to believe that I may have those counters in there, as well.


Combined with the Ogre set I bought this summer at GenCon, I have a pretty complete Ogre set now!  O0


I'm going to have to root around some more and see if I still have Battlesuit somewhere...

I had tons of Car Wars stuff...and Gamma World too. I think it's all still at my mom's house.

Star can ask her what she did with it.

[BanzaiCat]

Good luck with that, Star.

I've got a few boardgames up in my loft. One is Pacific Theatre - though I no longer have the map...but all the chits are there. Others are Red Storm Rising I think and The Hunt for Red October. I also used to have a game called MBT - but I don't know if that's still up there.

I loved the TSR games - very simple and fun.

Had that and the Arab-Israeli version (IDF?).  I still have IDF but MBT is long gone.  Didn't GMT do a revised reprint recently?  MRR to the DMZ near the LZ yo.  Damn the acronyms!

GMT's MBT series is still in P500...

Aha!  That was it!  Looks like it achieved the requirement too.

Europe Aflame
Pacific Theatre of Operations (no map)
The Hunt for Red October
Tank Command

I couldn't find MBT or Red Storm Rising. Clearly, back in the day, I wasn't aware there were any solitaire games because the TSR games I had/have are not solitaire.

I remember messing around with Hunt For Red October back then.  It looked to be a fun naval warfare game but I was a Harpoon addict at the time so it seemed a bit too simple.  That's probably it's strength, actually.  The hidden info standees were a nice touch too.
