Twilight 2000 or is it really Twilight 2025?
What I have recently acquired having missed it first time round in the 1980's I decided to get the "reboot version" (see below, a seemingly innocuous pile of gaming material seems to be steadily growing):
But anyone reading the news lately can be forgiven for thinking it is more like (see below, an ad-hoc bespoke to the game cover):

I was actually quite disappointed with this version of the game. ( I picked it up on the Kickstarter). The original was a product of the 80s: An enthralling timeline/back story coupled with an almost unplayable ruleset. This version is the opposite, the rules are much easier to approach, but the background/world building just falls flat. Worst for me is the lack of interesting near future kit. The original made-up interesting tanks and armored vehicles the authors envisioned might exist at the end of the 21st century. (While the cold war was still raging). This version just uses the actual equipment we ended up with.
Beguiling thoughts Dartfrog. An adolescent's thoughts (well speaking for myself) about the future are probably always more brilliant than the actual! I was promised Flying Cars and Angel Interceptors or Space 1999! Gawd, I am showing my age!
No older than most of this. I played the original boxed set in Junior High. I joined the army in 1989 still assuming we would be defending the Fulda Gap
Wow - long time back, I remember the original boxed sets in the shops. (Space 1999 was made in the early 1980's, it is a British Sci-Fi Space series when 2000 seemed a magical far off land!) I was promised flying cars!
