ENTERPRISE GAMES NEWS GenCon Game Convention GenCon is coming up on August 12-16 in Indianapolis. I'll be working most of the time in the games auction, usually in the game check-in/registration area. So look me up. Also, be sure to get your updated wantlists to me if there is anything that you want me to watch for in the auction for you. During this period of time, I will be limited in my email communications since most days will run from 8:00am to well after midnight. New Items Added from Origins We have returned from the Origins game convention with a full van load of games, both from the game publishing companies in attendance and the games auction. We will be adding these items to the games lists over the next couple of weeks and will in most cases be typed in blue. Also the photos of some of the more unique items will be added to the Out of Print new games section. A write up will be added soon to describe our experiences at Origins. Wargames Wanted As always, we want to purchase wargames, whether individual titles or whole collections. If you want to raise some extra cash or get a credit to trade for new items on our web site, send us your list of what you have available and we will give you a quote. If you are in the midwestern US, we can travel to your location, evaluate your items and give you a payment on the spot. Let us know if you have any questions on the procedures. Update Your Wantlists We are into the summer game convention season, with Origins coming up in late June and GenCon in mid August. As usual, I will be spending much of my time in the game auctions and in the dealers' area. So if you have items that you want me to find for you, please send me your new or updated game wantlists. The Origins auction has been growing again over the last couple of years and hopefully, there will be even more items entered this year. I will be attending this auction in the audience. However, at the much larger GenCon games auction, I will be in my normal position of working the check-in area. You are under no obligation to buy a game that you put on your wantlist. If I find it, I will let you know the condition and price, and then you decide. If you don't want that copy, it goes on our games for sale lists. Non-Sport Trading Cards Added to Website For a number of years, we have sold non-sport trading cards. If you are not familiar with them, these are trading cards with assorted themes other than being sports related. These include movies, television shows, historical topics, art, etc. We have literally hundreds of thousands of these cards in stock which are from the 1950's up to today. I have decided to add these to our web site. They will be located on a separate sub-section of our website which can be accessed from a link on our home page. Due to the large quantity and diversity of these cards, it will literally require months to add our complete inventory. However, I have input a number of the recent card sets. If you are interested in James Bond, Lost, Alias, etc., you can check it out at Enterprise Cards. As I said, we will be adding titles all of the time, but feel free to ask if you are looking for something in particular. Some of the items still to be added include Civil War News and other cards from the 1960's, many sets from the 1970's & 80's, Star Trek and Star Wars sets and many autograph cards. New Listings in Blue As many of you have noticed, I have recently started highlighting new additions to the game listings. As I add new games to the lists, I am highlighting these by the use of blue typing. I am not doing this for common titles but rather for ones which are new to the lists or have some unique feature. This will apply to recently released games as well as out of print ones. Usually, I will leave the blue print in place for about a month. SPI Parts Acquired Enterprise Games has recently acquired a large stock of SPI parts. These include unpunched counter sheets, maps, rule books, charts, etc. The majority of these items were obtained from Lou Zocchi of Gamescience. When SPI closed their doors, he managed to get the rights to purchase assorted SPI parts from their warehouse. Over the years, he used these parts to assemble many SPI games, including Campaign for North Africa, Bloody April, Next War and Atlantic Wall, to name a few. We have now obtained the remainder of the parts from Lou. You may view the listing of available parts by clicking on the following link SPI PARTS
