Returning to The Game of Highway Warriors

I played my first game of Dark Future in about 30 years. There is a bit of a write-up over on my blog. Head over there if you fancy a look

Its a funny old game isn’t it? Played a stripped back version of the game for the first time in decades at BOYL a few years ago. Nice to read a more positive comparison to Gaslands.

Used to have it back in '88. Excellent stuff. Occasionally played it with mates when not playing RT or WHFB 2ed, but they never got too invested into it, probably as we were all then getting to an age (all eight of us 16-17yrs old then) where we were (starting) drifting away from wargaming and RPGs etc., other interests. Used to have a laugh with it!

Great blog post. And I sympathise with not having the knees to play on the living room floor!

Ditto! Think we had issues treading on the models back then as well. The converted diecast corgi hotwheels we added were tougher thank goodness, but then often rolled off tabletop unless wheels painted and/or glued.
