  • Close Combat: A Bridge to Far. It’s a real time strategy game with a larger regional map where you control simple supply lines and troop movement between battlefields. My two brothers and I would sit and watch each other play for hours because we just had the one computer back in the late 90’s/early 2000’s. We made a stupid rule that you had to be present to get your turn so we would often wait nearby for several hours for our chance at glory/survival.





  • Group buy means a group of people all order their board at the same time (usually through a vendor in whichever region you’re in. Zoom keyboards group buy for North America takes place through Cannonkeys.com) so enough quantity can be produced to interest factories to actually take on the order. Nice keyboards are certainly a niche product. Group buys are risky business. I like Meletrix keyboards because they are relatively affordable, good sturdy heavy build, and they have shipped very close to on time for the 2 orders I’ve placed so far. But it’s not uncommon to hear horror stories of products never shipping or delays on top of delays. But it is a journey. I kind of treat the experience like a large Lego set or a model. It takes time and patience but the results are great.

    Mine at least came with the 4 pack game of

    1. columns (Tetris wannabe, I loved it )
    2. Golden axe
    3. ? (I can’t remember, maybe Tactical Enforcer?)
    4. Streets of Rage (My single favorite game from 2nd grade until Virtual Cop came out a few years later. I believe Street of Rage is the game currently on this amazing posters Wombo style television screen.)

    But Sewer Shark was my first real game for Sega CD and my 2nd grade mind was not prepared. Young me thought I was dumb and couldn’t do it because I was little…nah that game is just rough.




  • Fun fact: Wolves are much larger than dogs Both in terms of height and weight. The average wolf stands about 32 inches at the shoulder, while the average dog stands only about 24 inches tall. When it comes to weight, wolves typically weigh between 60 and 175 pounds, while dogs usually weigh between 30 and 80 pounds.

    That wolf is bigger than you think it is.
