The RoboRally reference is funny. And I think that technically they where not playing D&D, but T&T.

I don't even vaguely remember a BattleTech TCG.

Maybe you should check the CompuServe forum GO WiZARDS for more info on that!

And it only took 20 years to finalize the deal? Somebody's lawyer has been ripping them off for extra fees...

Why does this acquisition still feel like yesterday? I mean, it's been 20 years...

Is this the last vestiges of being pure geeky? Getting excited about the history of the hobby? I mean I get a kick out of it, but I don't personally know that many others that care.

Definitely a cool thing to see. It’s interesting that in 1997, the sole pop culture mention is that E.T. scene (nevermind that they don’t mention the cartoon). These days, it’d be a heck of a different story.

One thing that’s driving me nuts is the line “Lake Geneva, Wis.-based.” The editor in me just wants them to type out the “consin” to avoid that “.-“
