Space Hulk
When I was much younger I spent some time playing Space Hulk, a boardgame by Games Workshop set in the Warhammer 40k universe.

Unfortunately Space Hulk is well out of print, and Games Workshop themselves describe the game as long gone. One would think this would pose a challenge to a gamer who wants to play again, but doesn't own a set. Thankfully, it doesn't.

Games Workshop have been wonderful people and made the old Space Hulk tiles available for download. Using a colour printer, a glue-stick, some cardboard, scissors and a lot of patience, I managed to put together my very own Space Hulk board pieces.

Armed with an inventory of what was originally in the box, I managed to find enough tokens from other games to use as blips, and a friend brought over a box of Hero Quest minatures and doors. Combined with a compednium of old rules from another gamer, first edition Space Hulk lived once more!

You can always lurk on BoardGameGeek and see if anyone has a copy for trade/sale. It's a great resource for finding OOP games in general.
