Whilst visiting my parents in Calgary, I found the following:
Ram Speed: Microgame of rowed galley warfare: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/3561/ram-speed (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 (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/4732/space-warrior)
Car Wars: Deluxe Edition: https://boardgamegeek.com/image/135704/car-wars (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 (https://rpggeek.com/rpg/261/gamma-world-1st-edition)
Skull and Crossbones: complete, in box: https://rpggeek.com/rpgitem/45030/skull-crossbones (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 (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. :tickedoff:
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.
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!

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.
Hunt for Red October was by TSR, right? I think they made A Line in the Sand, which I have here somewhere. Hunt For Red October I think had similar pieces...units in little plastic stands. A friend of mine had it a long time ago.

Yes and yes!
Oh - that was the one I forgot when I was mentioning my list - I knew there was another one....A Line in the Sand.
A Line in the Sand...... great game for large group play. We played it for an entire weekend only for it to end in a tie. One guy was so pissed he swore not to play it again for 10 years.... Another in our group is keeping time... only 2.5 years until we can bring it out again. :2funny:
Best part of the game is sending Diplomatic messages to the other factions. My group gets right into the RP of the factions. Stealing messages from the pouch, a game mechanic, usually resulted in riotous laughter as you only got part of the exchange... usually involving a goat and someone's ancestry.
Ha...yeah we did the same thing. I remember breaking it out some 15 years after the only play I ever had with it with a large group, and re-reading the messages. I never throw that kind of stuff away because it's usually gold.

Yep, that game is a lot of fun with the right group. We also tended to REALLY get into the whole 'release a fiery speech' part of things. ;D
