I've still got the Death Test book, and all the maps/counters from Melee & Wizard, but nothing else. I used to have both of those, Advanced Melee, Advanced Wizard and Into the Labyrinth. But in the early 80's a trunk full of my rpg stuff got flooded out in the basement and ruined.
The same thing happened to me! I lost probably over $1000 worth of games in a trunk in a basement flood (and that's in 1980s dollars!) TFT, 12 or 15 microgames, T&T, Runequest, Bushido, Gamma World, Star Probe, tons of Task Force and SPI games, etc., etc. And now I'm getting sad...
