![]() I began with that aforementioned Red Box in the mid-’80s (not counting a sixth-grade experience with Keep on the Borderlands, which I enjoyed but didn’t really understand)-picking it up either from Paperback Booksmith or Kay-Bee Toys in the local mall, I can’t remember which-and was, not surprisingly, immediately hooked. And of course, RPGs, from James Bond to Indiana Jones to Tunnels and Trolls to, most important of all, Dungeons & Dragons. Board games, from Dungeon to Talisman (2nd Edition, thank you) to Gammarauders to Car Wars to Dark Tower. Fantasy books from The Hobbit to The Sword of Shannara to the entire Dragonlance series, plus the entirety of the Fighting Fantasy and Sorcery! gamebook lines. NES, with Super Mario and Zelda (gold, obviously) cartridges included. Like every other God-fearing, red-blooded geek in the ’80s, I had the basic items which marked me as a soldier in the cause.
