Pocket Box Games - January 30

[Buzzardo]

Honestly, I'm not sure how I missed it. I was already buying SJG's games by then. Oh, well. I hope to be able to correct the oversight all these years later. :)

I'm in for a copy of Battlesuit (and Necromancer, if that happens).

[Atomic Kennedy]

Incredible. Bringing back Battlesuit in the first round is a classy move, too - I have always considered it an unsung hero of the SJG canon.

I've even, at times, considered doing it in miniatures.

I'm in for Battlesuit and Car Wars. (ALL the Car Wars!) Very excited!

For those wondering, here's the full list of SJ Games pocket box and bagged games/supplements from the period. Those in bold are already part of this project (at least as stretch goals as of this writing).

Raid on Iran, One-Page Bulge, Kung Fu 2100, Undead, Car Wars, Illuminati, Ogre, GEV, Battlesuit, Necromancer, The Awful Green Things From Outer Space

Pocket Box Supplements:
Illuminati Expansion #1, Illuminati Expansion #2, Truck Stop, Sunday Drivers/Crash City, Boat Wars

Ogre Battlefields is a 2000-era release that thematically would fit in, but could cause confusion with the upcoming big-box expansion of the same name. Melee/Wizard is already in production as a combined Pocket Box edition, and the two Death Test adventures would similarly be appropriate if they weren't being re-released soon in a different format.

Keep in mind that aside from Ogre, GEV, Melee, and Wizard, all other Metagaming properties remain the copyright of that company. Even if their owners suddenly reappeared from the ether and gave them to SJ Games, I doubt there's enough time to recreate their files for the factory. Anyway, they didn't come in Pocket Boxes.

[ColBosch]

Oh, and one big request: if this project does get to the point of reprinting Illuminati Expansion #3, could you all PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE use the corrected "Brainwash" board? Thank you!

And it's already at #19 (of 21) in terms of funding ....

[Buzzardo]

I'm in for everything. I just bumped my pledge to the $200 level and added $20 for empty boxes (to store my old plastic-baggy versions of Ogre, GEV, and Illuminati).

SJ Games never published those in bags. Methinks someone might've kept the old Pocket Boxes for their own purposes. ;)
