[QUOTE=Aztek]I once made a trip to NYC when I was 18 in the early eighties and tried to look up their headquarters which at the time was listed in Manhattan somewhere. I had 400 bucks with me to buy as many SPI titles as I could but to my great disapointment they were out of business and there was a big "for rent" sign on the front door of the busineess address I had. [/QUOTE] Yes, they hit financial problems and were taken over by TSR, but it all went wrong as TSR didn't want to inherit SPI's debts and quite a few wargamers got burned on their S&T subscriptions, luckily for me I'd stopped subscribing by then. Some of the guys went on to form Victory Games, a sub-division of AH, operating out of New York, who produced some pretty good games.
