StreetWars arrives to Los Angeles in March and I’m stumped to think of any 
remaining 70s-era geek activities that haven’t been transmogrified into a new 2006 edition. Next thing you know I’ll be playing Asteroids while waiting on a new season of Battlestar Galactica. Oh wait…
The potential downside of the new LA edition is simple geography. You live in Long Beach, your target is in Chatsworth, you work in Pasadena, etc. Much of that three week game duration would be spent in traffic. Still it’s kinda neat to see that the authorities are just as angry now as back when we were playing it at sci-fi conventions. Steve Jackson Games (Cthulhu bless ’em) still publishes the original rules such as they were.
Anyway, every good cult activity deserves an exploitation movie and you can’t go wrong with Tag: The Assassination Game. It’s not particularly good and is probably more noteworthy now as a Linda Hamilton trivia answer, but having both Michael Winslow and Frazer Smith guarantees it’s spot in a future episode of “I Love The 80s.”
Good luck guys – don’t get shot by the L.A.P.D.
