Out of the blue, memories of playing Thexder pop into my head.

No Atari or Nintendo at my house.

    Better tag Paul V. for mecha.

    Ah Thexder, the first game I absolutely sucked at.  But not the last!

    I've never heard of this. Probably because there was never a PC at my house.

    But the mecha looks like a clunky ripoff of a Valkyrie from Macross.

    That's because it was, Paul V.. I liked it because it was like Jetfire from Transformers.

    Oddly enough, I've heard of FIRE HAWK.

    They were both hard, or I was terrible. Thexder was one of my first games.

    I remember this as the game where you turned into an airplane and crashed.

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp.
