PanzerBlitz was the one that started it all for me.......I can still remember how heavy the box was when I collected it from the shop.....and the smell of freshly punched cardboard counters. [I]THAT [/I] is the one thing that computer games lack, the tactile interaction between you and the game.

[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.

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.
