Oh, yeah, that brings back memories :) I think the first D&D programs I saw were in "Dragon" magazine--still have some copies of that and I'm hoping I still have the issues with the programs in it. I never played Gamma World but always wanted to, and recently a friend was getting rid of his old rulebook and gave it to me, so I've been on the lookout for old modules of that. I also have that D&D/GW crossover module, S3, "Expedition to the Barrier Peaks". On the computer side, talking about this is also reminding me of playing Moonlander, LOL!

I liked to use the computer to come up with quick NPC's for my games although I still had to equip them, was going to write a part of the program for that but never got a "round tuit." I'd love to get a BASIC interpreter for the current PC's, I'm currently running a Morrow Project type RPG and I could use it to generate weather tables and so on. I do have a few od Dragon mags, espeically one that has good articles on a D&D/GW crossover and how to do it and how to put UFO's in your campaigns.

Other games I've dabbled in is Top Secret, Star Frontiers, and a little Car Wars.

Using the computer to generate NPCs is handy! I never tried Morrow Project but I'm looking up a link on it now--sounds fun! What issue of Dragon has the article on the D&D/GW crossover? I have a bunch of issues from about the 70s-100s plus Best Of 2-4; used to have earlier ones back to the 40s, but I don't seem to have those anymore, though I keep feeling like I should have them around buried somewhere. I did a little Star Frontiers when it first came out but not much. I always thought Top Secret looked interesting. Other ones I've enjoyed are Marvel Superheroes and Call of Cthulhu. I also like wargames, though I've only scratched the surface of that with Axis and Allies, Panzer Blitz, basic stuff like that. On the video rpg side I really like Neverwinter Nights.
