Not a bad effort since they were working out of what was basically little more the spare room of a house from my understanding.
I can't see anyone here managing to maintain such a good quality of work under the pressure they must have felt to meet publishing deadlines.

That is the problem with lot of workshops that put out RPGs in general. In many cases they were 3 to 10 people working their butts off in spare rooms, garages and what not. The thing is few of these people even read the fiction books they were writing material for.
By the time they produced Twilight 2000, GDW had already had large Traveller backing and were far from the days working where ever they could find space. One problem I do see is that the old paper research that these places had to do, where stuff got misplaced. Even in this computer age, it is easy for stuff to get misplaced on the old hard drive if one isn't careful.
Even the big company such as the company that use to make Dungeon and Dragons showed what happens when you get too big.
