Semi-OT: GDW Catalog

[Sith]

We have been going through the house purging unwanted stuff lately and I came across my old copy of Last Battle. So I cracked it open and found this. It's the old GDW Game Catalog from 1989, and in near perfect condition (rusty staples). I thought it was pretty cool and nostalgic, so I thought I'd share it here.

I've still got one someplace.....

A sweet blast from the past. Thanks for sharing this. I'd forgotten all about Air Superiority. I now remember buying a copy as a kid and a couple of the ensuing, half-hearted attempts to play. Good times.

I still have copies of Harpoon laying around here somewhere. Plus First Battle and some of the others. I miss GDW. Most of the games are now on Vassal including Air Superiority.

I thought it would be appropriate to resurrect this thread for this.

I found a pdf of Dragon Magazine #93 (Jan 85) that has the original full page/color Twilight 2000 ads used to launch the game back in December 1984.

Wow. Looking at the folder, its stretches back to ye aunciente Strategic Review, which I read when I first caught the RPG bug, including issue 5 withe the article Sturmgeshutz and Sorcery
(subtitled "How Effective is a Panzerfaust Against a Troll, Heinz?"), a replay of WW2 Germans vs DnD. Made me save up money to by their Tractics miniatures rules back when my only income was weekly allowance.

Holy time tripping, Batman! I remember reading the original.

I remember seeing this ad in Dragon, that would have been my junior year of high school. I have a memory of talking it over while playing Assault in my friend's basement on a Friday night gaming sleepover. Eventually, he was a key player in my first T2k campaign, which ran from that summer until we all left for college the following summer. I even went to Gencon in August 85, where I bought Fire in the East and Ruins of Warsaw from the GDW booth.
