Do you play old games?

Old games? Allied General is one game I'll never get tired of. Of course, there's Nova Logic's original Delta Force and SSI's really old Mech Brigade (my XT is still in shape somehow). Another one is SSI's Steel Panthers Brigade Command. Am glad that my two early generation PC's are still up and about. These games don't run on the latest Windows. For the some hack and slash, it's again an SSI classic, Wizard's Crown. Kinda obvious what game company I like, eh?

I bought Crimson Skies last week for £2.
What a hoot! (for a few days), makes me quite fancy trying a proper flight sim.

This surprises me, I remember it being the most frustrating boardgame of my childhood. Looked great and obviously really cool due to it's WW2 connection and all the little pieces but near impossible to finish if I recall correctly?

I have a German friend... she'd never heard of Colditz, I had to show her it on a map. Funny when it's so much a part of British 'culture',

Wotnochad?

Know exactly what you've got and got mine in the original box also......trouble is wife and kids don't want to play and the game takes forever......

Glad to see I'm not the only one who's still got this game!

I might have to dig mine out and force it on a few mates.
I never registered it was created by Pat Reid.
That 'Advice for escapers' booklet was probably the first bit of WW2 related literature I ever owned (other than commando comics ).

Have the Swastikas been excised from later editions? Had a feeling they had been.

That's correct...Pat Reid's name is on the box....also the fascimile Red Cross parcel......how many of these are still around (original boxes I mean).....
