Speaking of Twilight 2000, whatever happened to it? That, and BattleTech, were the two favorite games we played in high-school, with D&D running a close 3rd.

My wife and I had the fortune to be with the company when it happened. :) It was quite an exciting time for the company which is one reason why I toyed around with the idea of doing this very thing with Abashima Press, but I didn't have the time to do the research and I wasn't particularly motivated to do it so I let it go--now I regret not doing it. ;) Remember though, the _Gulf War Fact Book_ wasn't a game, it was merely that: a book of facts about the war. It was primarily aimed at the general public to help them understand what was going on and so had lots of mass market appeal. Modern guns 'n' such were already available in GDW games like _Twilight 2000_ so the value to the gamer wasn't high.
