Sometimes you can't truly appreciate what you have, or what you've lost, without going back and (re)discovering it for yourself.
Laserburn is one of those things that bears experiencing. It's a sci-fi game from 1980, which if you're reading this in 2020, was about 100 years ago. This was apparently before the time of common word processors, or technical writers or editing I guess. Clearly this was type-written and then copied to make books. But who am I to talk? I was alive in 1980. How many beloved games did I write? :)
I actually didn't get into minis games until much later, so I don't have any nostalgia for the game, but I'm also kind of a gaming hipster, so I at least had to try it. Here we go.
