Simple, easy and Fun to play!!!!!!!! They just don't make 'em like this any more.

I have so many fond memories of playing Gamma World. At one time my group and I were way more interested in playing Gamma World (2nd edition) than we were D&D. We played through both GW1 and GW2, and we made good use of the USA map and city map and city explanations for Pitz Burg that came with the 2nd edition (I never played the first edition, but I really appreciated those extras in my 2nd edition game).
I agree that GW is a great game for introducing new folks to roleplaying. I can't speak about the other boxed games that TSR put out ( Star Frontiers, Boot Hill etc.) but the GW boxed set and D&D Basic set were awesome for getting you up and playing quick.

Thanks for the article and the memories!!
