I knew it was only a matter of time before Car Wars, Mad Max, and dozens of video games featuring weaponized vehicles, came to television. On May 11th, the producers of Mythbusters will be bringing Weaponizers, a three-part series, to the little screen. Two teams will design, build, and send into remotely-controlled combat, lethally-outfitted vehicles. Sounds like my idea of a good time.

Car Wars! I used to play that. I didn’t think anyone remembered. Gawd, I wish I still had all my gear. I bet I’d have to pay a pretty penny on Ebay to get it all back.
I LOVED Car Wars. I still have all of my CW games: the original pocket box version, the 2nd edition, Sunday Drivers, AutoDuel Champions, the AADA Vehicle Guide, and the CW-related issues of SJ Games’ Space Gamer magazine.
The other SJ Game from that era that I loved was OGRE. I had a whole box of the OGRE miniatures and scenery I had acquired in hopes of building an OGRE game table. When we moved 9 years ago, reluctantly, I sold it all and some other rare game components. The OGRE minis were no longer available when I sold them and I was amazed at what I got for them. It basically funded our move.
