Growing up I was always fascinated by the idea of space travel. When asked, just a few weeks ago by a pupil at school, what I would most like to do in my life I found myself pausing only momentarily before replying, “Walk on Mars.” People laugh at that… but it’s true.
From when I started gaming the things that I remember most strongly are twofold:
1) Crash on Volturnus (yes, Star Frontiers)
2) Classic Traveller
Both of these things formed part of what I used to, before meeting my wife, refer to as “Sci-Fi”. Nowadays, I know better.
Om nom nom nom!
