It was bigger than I thought it would be, although I did recall pledging the mammoth $200 “Car Wars and seven more games” package as a tip of the hat for everything SJG gave me in 1983. Perhaps these weren’t the honkin’ miniature-heavy boxes you see nowadays, but it was amazing how 5 bucks could buy you in to a whole world back then. The manuals were small, and inside were super-folded maps as well as thin sheets of game counters that you cut out yourself. These little guys held the first copies I owned of Car Wars and its supplements as well as other titles like Ogre. Many of these games came in a specially designed “ pocket box” that was more durable than a ziplock bag and were the perfect size to fit on paperback book racks in stores. About a year ago, I pitched in on a Kickstarter that was near and dear to my heart… the reprint of a vast library of early-80’s games from Steve Jackson Games.
