Game #108

[Thornfield]

Hi there!

Russ told me I will be in the game. No further Information.

I was playing Victory! in the early 90´s. Since it was played by mail .....as far as I remember they had a Branch somewhere in the Netherlands then.

So glad I found RTG Homepage while surfing the web...

Ah! Yes. That was the name. PBM Express. You´re right dageraad. Can´t remember the games. But I liked them.

I can´t remember his name. But if he worked at or was the owner of the PBM Express....Yes!

Paul was the owner , Wim was the guy who ran the games , or at least , ran the Supernova games . I drove up to Dordrecht a number of times to pick up my turn results when I did not want to wait for the snail mail to get to Germany . I met both Paul and Wim a number of times before PBM Express closed or went bankrupt . The rumor was that Paul had some kind of tax problems back then . The company still exists , but they sell merchandise nowadays . I doubt that they run any games , but I could be mistaken .

Aha. You mean you went from Germany to Dordrecht just to pick up you Turns? 🤠😅 Dear! ok I don´t know how far it was. But you´re right - sometimes it took a week to get the turns back by mail.
