`Well I just went back to the UK to empty my old home goods store (put stuff in there 12 years ago, finally realised likely not going back anytime soon, tired of paying for it).
In amongst bits of junk, UK electrical goods etc, I opened a box and found:
AH Submarine
SPI Air War
GDW Fifth Frontier War
GDW Mayday!
TFG Star Fleet Battles plus Expansion 1
TFG Federation Space
Car Wars+ Sunday Drivers (I suspect a lot missing)
Starfire I, II and III
Gaming rules:
Once upon a time in the west
Operation Warboard (the book that got me into wargaming, soooo long ago)
Air battles in miniature
General Quarters I and II (WWI and WWII naval miniatures)
Several modern and WWII armour rulesets
RPGs:
Rolemaster - Character/Arms/Spell/Creature Law books, plus Rangers of the North module
SPI DragonQuest plus GM screen, Frontiers of Alusia map
Stormbringer
Other Suns
Absolute treasure trove - I thought these had gone long ago - but they had just gone from attic to storage.
Particularly entertaining as Starfire, Air War and DragonQuest came up in threads in just the last couple of weeks - serendipity indeed.
Shame I don't have anyone to play them with. But I'm still delighted. I may go get the Traveller ruleset to go with the related bits I found.
Sadly, my Gunslinger, C&S rules, Bushido and main Traveller stuff were not in the box...but that is getting greedy....!
My wife is just thrilled.
wow - very cool indeed :)
I'd love to get a look at that DQ Frontiers of Alusia map!

I'll see if I can do some kind of scan next week. 22"x34" so should be interesting...
Hartford, if you don't have access to an oversize scanner, Fedex Office has them in almost all their stores.
I believe you can have it done either Black&White or in full color. The B&W should be much cheaper.
No Fedex Office here, but there may be someplace.
Now I'm at the bottom of the box, I now also have:
TFG's Intruder
I remember this one being lots of fun.
It has also provoked me to dig out my copy of Naval War from a cupboard upstairs - that was a great little game...

Rules:
NavWar's Warship Commander (very complex naval rules 1967-1987)
Starhound (cheap n cheerful space fighters)
Retinue (Medieval skirmish rules)
Encounter One (starship rules)
Woah... that was a worthy find! Which DragonQuest is that? I can't find it on BGG.
Here you go:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DragonQuest
An RPG published by SPI.
We played it a lot at a club in Scotland in the early 1980s. Somewhat tabletop based (good with miniatures) and flexible - less class restricted than D&D/AD&D.
Thoroughly enjoyed it as a system.Up there for me for fantasy RPG with Rolemaster and C&S.

Man, and I was stoked when I found a 5 in my pocket!
Total score, dude! Congrats.
dragonquest on the geek; gotta go to the rpg side

http://rpggeek.com/rpgitem/43634/dragonquest-boxed-set-first-edition
this is the boxed set, 1st edition
2nd ed I believe: the rules with a white cover, plenty of links here to follow
Arena of Death is the ares mag game using the combat system from the rpg, not sure if barbarian kings mated with the game or not.
