Looking back at one of TSR's minigames from the early 1980s

Drewcula, next up will be The Hellgame, then I might veer back to a minigame or two (was thinking about Metagaming's Holy War, since it's the earliest game I can think of trying to represent 3-D space in 2-D format (paper.))
I think the IP was an amalgamation of several different common sci-fi approaches.

Starforce from 1974 had a really cool 3d map with simultaneous movement plotting, along with a really out there sci fi premise and take on space combat
i may or may not have learned of its existence while watching a documentary about british electronic music (the human league took their name from one of the factions in the game)

This may have been TSR's best minigame. Vampyre and They've Invaded Pleasantville were definitely close seconds that scratched a different kind of itch. I still have fond memories of my best friend whooping my ass as the aliens in Pleasantville, gradually taking over my townsfolk and proclaiming in a monotone voice, "YOU ARE NOW ONE OF US."
