	*Sigh* Memories, ah, memories!
	
	Stellar Conquest was my *first* SF boardgame, back in
	1972.  It came in a manila envelope.  It is still
	a classic.

	It was the inspiration for several computer games,
	most notably Reach For The Stars and Master of Orion.

	My other most favorite game from the period is
	the classic TRIPLANETARY, with newtonian vector
	movement by drawing vectors on the hex grid
	with an erasable china-writer pencil.

	Many people have tried to combine the two.
