Welcome to the "ultimate page" on Awful Green Things from Outer Space, one of my favorite two-player games. AGTFOS, as it is affectionately known, was created by game-designer and cartoonist Tom Wham. It appeared first as a insert to Dragon Magazine in1980, followed by a boxed edition from TSR and popular mini and full-sized editions by Steve Jackson Games. It is, I believe, currently out of print, although I have collected some links to places where copies, mostly used, can be obtained.   This page contains everything about AGTFOS I can find on the web, together with some tips of my own. I plan to keep this site updated with whatever I can find or are given. New entries are marked .
