Spent most of my lunchtimes at school playing AD&D, Laserburn and car wars.

Good old Car Wars, I've gone all misty eyed

There was a guy at my church used to wear a Bolt Thrower t shirt.

without fail. Don't know if he was doing it to prove a point of something. The amusing thing is that he clearly considered warhammer a massively nerdy hobby.

by the way, does anyone remember the band called "bolt thrower"? 80s war metal based on warhammer.

Yep, there was also another band whose album had 40K artwork, think they were Chaos Marines, WorldEaters or similar, was not death metal, can't remember the name though.

That and Battletech - although that was saved for w/es too long winded for lunchtime. I actually bought Battletech rules of a chap on ebay - got together with my old pals from school and tried to play - OMG talk about complicated!!!!

However we settled for a game of Talisman and several bottles of wine

I never got into Batteltech, but loved playing this...

I had a pal who was really into Satr Trek and I think (rattles memory) that he played that with his group at school - but we stuck to mainly D&D moved to AD&D and tried MERP, Warlock and Warhammer for a little - but truth is that my best memories are from AD&D. One of our physics teachers was very into 'live roleplaying' - he used to go down the Chislehurst caves - an outfit called Labyrinthe and we all got into it from there really. Many a luch hour in the physics lab - and being an adult we respected def added to the mystery and made him a fantastic DM, so engrossing
