Steve Jackson Games Classic Pocket Box Games Bundle

Steve Jackson Games

Decades ago, in a glorious age known as The Eighties, Steve Jackson set off on his own to design and publish games, game accessories, and gaming magazines. In the early years of Steve Jackson Games, Steve and his crew created a storage solution for games that was far, far superior to the simple zipper lock bags that so many micro games were released in at the time.

The Classic Games Pocket Box bundle includes the forgotten Pocket Box games of the eighties. Undead. Necromancer. One-Page Bulge. Raid on Iran. Kung Fu 2100. Games that have been out-of-print and unavailable for decades are available once again, all in retro-inspired packaging and in as near-exact reprints of the originals as we could manage.

Undead: is two games in one. It can be a board game for two players, or a game-mastered RPG adventure for 3-6 or more. Either way, it’s a battle of wits. Dracula must protect his coffins and drink enough lood to keep his strength high. The vampire hunters must find and smash his coffins. Locate his victims and try to drive him away. Recruit more help and try to alert London to the terrible menace of the Undead!

Necromancer is a fantasy game for two players. Each player becomes a Necromancer – a powerful wizard controlling the forces of the undead. As their skeletons and zombies battle, the Necromancers use their powers to take control of enemy units! The goal: to find the mystic Jewels of Power and destroy the enemy Necromancer.

Raid on Iran: On April 24, 1980, the United States launched a rescue mission to free 54 hostages held captive in Iran. Three helicopters failed on the way. The mission was aborted. Raid on Iran is a simulation of what might have been if the rescue mission had reached Tehran. The American commandos must find and free the embassy hostages – while holding off Iranian mobs and militants – and get them safely to the helicopters. An alternate scenario examines the possibility that commandos might have tried to abduct the Ayatollah Khomeini himself – to exchange him for the hostages!

One-Page Bulge started as a challenge. Was it possible to design a good wargame and keep the rules down to a single 8.5″ x 11″ sheet of paper? Play it and find out. Wargame rules don’t have to be long and confusing! It’s a short game, but not a trivial one. One-Page Bulge is challenging – fast and playable, but a good representation of the last great German offensive of WWII.

Kung Fu 2100: For years the CloneMasters have ruled the world. Their only foes are the Terminators – trained from birth in the martial arts. Now you are a Terminator. Your mission: smash your way into the CloneMaster’s fortress. . .chop through his defenses. . .and destroy him forever. But his guards are many and loyal. Like you, they can kill with a single blow. And time is against you.

Awful Green Things: The crew of the exploration ship Znutar just wanted to cruise around the Galaxy, discovering strange new worlds and playing pool. But then their ship was invaded by the Awful Green Things. And suddenly they were fighting for their lives! In this wacky two-player game, one person takes the part of the Awful Green Things. Every turn the monsters multiply and grow. . .especially if they can eat somebody! The other player commands the crew, frantically trying weapon after weapon in the hopes of defeating The Awful Green Things from Outer Space!
