Hey,
I just stumbled across this site and thought it was interesting and brought back some old memories.
I programmed the game Victory! The Battle for Europe for Rolling Thunder Games back in the 1990s as well as being an owner there for almost ten years. I had a lot of fun memories of game designing, attending conventions, frantic deadlines, talking on the phone with players, writing newsletters, etc. It was a good time for quite a while.
I started off playing StarMaster back in 1981 and still have all those papers in a box somewhere. Ended up working at Rolling Thunder in 1987 and leaving there while the design sessions for SuperNova Rise of the The Empire were underway back in 1997.
It is hard to believe how much things have changed in the industry and how fast time goes by. I was sad to hear about Dave Webber passing and happy to see Carol is still running Flagship.
Thanks for hosting this site and archiving some of information about the classic games.
Terry
