Betty Grable, Legs and Feet
Betty Grable had legs – and man, what legs! For those of you who may not recognize the name, the lovely Betty was Queen of the Pin-ups during World War II. Her image in that famous photo (reproduced here) decorated hundreds (thousands? hundreds of thousands?) of soldiers’ barracks as well as the fuselages of their fighter planes. If lonely and weary American GIs far away from their home towns wondered why they were fighting, all they had to do was glance at the lovely Betty in her iconic pose, back to the camera, showing off her famous legs (reportedly insured by Lloyd’s of London for one million dollars) and remember. (It has been said that one of those soldiers, taken by Betty’s photo, decided to go into the magazine publishing business. The soldier? Hugh Hefner. The magazine? Playboy.) Betty appreciated her attributes too. She is recorded as commenting, “There are two reasons why I am successful in show business and I am standing on both of them.”
But Betty was much more a pair of legs. Betty Grable had a long and successful film career, at one point being the highest paid star in Hollywood. Longevity is a quality to which everyone aspires and, when something lasts a long time, the colloquial expression is that it has “legs”. Like Betty Grable, Gamers Alliance – and Gamers Alliance Report – has legs.
From our start in 1986, we have continued to showcase the newest and best games on the market today. We’ve even expanded our focus, doing exclusive interviews with some quality game designers (for example) and also remembering some “golden oldies”, great games that, for a variety of reasons, didn’t have “legs” and disappeared from store shelves before their time. (And, of course, through our out of print game service, help those searching for these lost gems to obtain their “holy grails”.) This issue marks the beginning of our 26th consecutive year of publication. Few publications of any kind – much less those devoted to games and gaming – can boast of having lasted so long but we have. We have been walking the walk as well as talking the talk all this time, putting each foot forward, one at a time, as we continue that never-ending journey. As we enter our 26th year, I’d like to think that Betty would concede that while her gams are more shapely, we BOTH have legs. And frankly, that’s no mean feat.
In this issue of GA REPORT, we continue to walk the walk and square off in the city, command knights around King Arthur’s Round Table and battle head to head on ice. Meanwhile, Ted Cheatham is on the hunt for mammoths, Chris Kovac sinks battleships, Pevans visits Olympus, Andrea “Liga” Ligabue tempts fate, Greg J. Schloesser finds wine mighty fine and Frank Hamrick gets snowed! We welcome K-ban on his return with the next installment in his Baseball Games series plus the reappearance of a favorite feature of ours: The Gamer’s Bookshelf. And, of course, much more.
Until next time, Good Gaming!
