- Dark_Future abstract "Dark Future is a 1988 alternate history and post-apocalyptic science-fantasy miniature wargame by Games Workshop. It is set in the then-future year of 1995 (later updating the setting to 2021), in a post-apocalyptic fantasy-inspired alternate reality where the United States of America—as well as the rest of the world—has fallen apart. Society has collapsed (almost back to the times of both the Dark Ages and the Wild West—where there's no law and no order), and the natural laws of physics have broken down. Megacorps are now in total control, technology runs rampant, and Sanctioned Ops patrol the roads and highways tracking down and destroying the renegade scum who live there, outside of the law and doing what they please. Another game like it, bearing the name Dark Future, was originally developed for Games Workshop as a cyberpunk role-playing game, but was canceled. The game's co-author and GW board game developer Marc Gascoigne ported it onto Richard Halliwell's car-racing game system, using a mechanic originally developed for Judge Dredd role-playing game adventure Slaughter Margin. The game was seen as a replacement for GW's early board game Battlecars, which merged James Bond-like combative car gadgets in a Death Race 2000 and Mad Max-styled background. The novels that were written by Jack Yeovil—a pen name of Kim Newman—created an elaborate alternate history in which Elvis Presley is a hard-as-nails bounty hunter and Oliver North is President of the United States. In 2005 the Dark Future setting was brought back as a series of novels published by Games Workshop's fiction imprint Black Flame. They updated the setting to 2021, and released several new titles. However, while several pop-culture references were updated in the books, some lines retain their original wording, and now seem out of place (such as when character Jazzbeaux thinks of the millennium coming around in five years' time in 'Route 666'). In the board game, the player plays the part of a Sanctioned Op—a bounty hunter of the future—or a Renegade, dueling for survival in high-tech vehicles of the present. In May 2015 it was announced that Dark Future would be rebooted as a digital game entitled 'Dark Future: Blood Red States'.".
