  1. I had a friend (who I think now lives in Ohio) that had shelves filled with AH games. He got me hooked on playing Titan.

  2. Is wizards the one set in like Armenia or something? I had a rad AH game when I was younger to that effect.

  4. Wizards is a cooperative game using a random hex tile board. Almost like a Eurogame but it came out in 1982. en.m.wikipedia.org - Wizards (board game) - Wikipedia

  5. It also has RPG elements like classes with level advancement and spell levels. But no combat!

  6. And a serious New Age vibe. It quotes lyrics from a Yes song in the rulebook.

  7. I picked up a VG condition Outdoor Survival at a local auction last year for $10. It's Jim Dunnigan at his worst but somehow I felt compelled to own it. AH put out a house organ zine called Heroes to support it's 4 or so RPG titles. It lasted 10 issues I may try and pick a few up to check out.

  9. Where do they keep D-Day and Tactics II and those bigger format games? Of the ones I know, I only see Wooden Ships and Iron Men

  10. I have about 8 of those AH titles but my 3M game collection is bigger than his!

  11. Tony Rowe I have all the 3m sports games in another spot ;) Favorite title, "Thinking man's golf" and most importantly from a collector's pv, do you have Jati? I do not...

  12. Thom Hall, alas, I have no Jati nor do I know anyone who has found a copy. It looks like we have a similar taste in games.
