Avalon Hill games for the VIC (was: Avalon Hill's Nukewar)

Bookshelf boxes with detailed manuals and bonus goodies are an added value which is completely ignored in recent games. I really like the feeling of a big sturdy box, and the variety of what's inside (AH, SSI, Infocom, Epyx, etc) - it adds so much to the game atmosphere...

Who needs a manual when every game starts with a 15 minute instructional level? :P These days the insert of games seems to solely be the warning about epilepsy and radio interference. Personally, it's not a spy game unless I get physical documentation stamped "top secret" XD

You never finish to explore... I dig up this old thread because the map of B-1 Nuclear Bomber wasn't to be found in the game box. Instead, it was created by Chris Cummings, and published in the very first issue of the Computer Gaming World magazine (14 Mb pdf download from the excellent dedicated website).

I changed the wiki entry accordingly, also adding Chris' short review of the game.
