What other old board games are you a fan of? Something else you collect?

I'm part of a board game group and we do have a couple old games. Cosmic Encounter is a game made in the 70s but feels like it was designed in the 2000s. It's been reprinted and rereleased a ton so it's available in retail and so are all the expansions. There are over 200 aliens you can be. I'm been making a custom insert for a while, then I'm going to make a custom box.

Other old games we still play are Scotland Yard (assymetric hidden movement game) and Omega Virus (sci-fi game where you try to stop a sentient virus)

I have heard of Omega Virus. Always wanted to give it a go.

I have a guilty pleasure love of Dragonstrike. It was a learn to play D&D game from the 90's. Came with a super cheesy how to play VHS tape. A few books and whatnot were put out too. There was a planned sequel called Wildspace which was never made. Been on a quest to unearth as much as I can about it. Even to the point of reaching out to the original designers of the two games.

I used to have DragonStrike too. I think I may have a few of the gameboards but otherwise the components are long gone. I gave away my copies of Heroquest and Advanced Heroquest too...we sure played those games a ton but they haven't aged well. Never knew about Wildspace.
