Did anyone have these? They came in a small plastic boxes not much bigger than a dvd case, usually containing some sort of map and a shed load of small cardboard counters. I know O.G.R.E is a Steve Jackson game but there were others but I can't remember the names.

One was a martial arts based, pretty sure you assigned skills and weapons to your character then moved around inside a map of a building. This is the one I'm mainly interested in.

Another was a surival game, think it was zombies, could never beat them. Think I found this one, 'Undead' out of print unfortunately :(

The Awful Green Things From Outer Space is still in print though, woohoo!

Pretty vague, but it was like 25+ years ago when I last played them when I was a nipper. Anyone else have experience with these or remember the martial arts based one?

I remember them being very difficult but fun to play in a short session.

Edit: Had another search session and found it's name - Kung Fu 2100 ! Now to find a copy :)

Edit2: found a nice page with a few pics, ahh good times :)

The main one you're missing is Illuminati.

Most SJG pocket games have been released in boxed formats with proper pieces rather than the paper boards and chits. OGRE Designer's Edition is especially worth looking at if you need a second residence. :D
 
:) Nice, I missed the kickstarter but I saw that some backers walked away with a ton of stuff after stretch goals were met and some pledge levels got everything.
