Ancient Discoveries

[James]

Well, I was thinking about HeroQuest, because this girl said I was the coolest guy ever for picking it as my favorite game. So I pulled it out to have a look at it again.

Well, the painted figures are still intact (yay), but I'm keeping them out until I can buy a sealant. I also need to buy new Warhammer paints because the ones I have are all dried out and/or gelatin-ized. But to my dismay, I can't find the furniture pieces for the game. I worry I left them at my friend's house a while back, and they're probably lost in the clutter. I'm also missing two monster cards (Orc and Chaos Warrior).

But I'm also looking around and cleaning, up, to see if I can find them. And I'm finding other fun things:

Nintendo sticker cards. Nintendo used to have these "game cards" that even came with the mandatory rock-hard stick of gum. These cards were little scratch games, where you had to see if you could get 3 of the same thing or whatever. So half of the cards were like that, and the other half were stickers. I found a bunch of the stickers. 27 to be exact. The games featured are Mario, Zelda, Double Dragon (I even have a Bobo Abobo sticker, Les), and Punch Out. I'd scan them if I could, but there's no way geocities would let me link to all of them.

Also in the same pile, I found some random Marvel, football, and baseball cards. But who gives a fuck.
