"Old" classic AT games you could make yourself to try?

I've got a group of young uns in the neighbourhood and am starting a games group for them, which is great, but aside from playing I'm also getting them to put together their own games, ideally at some point they will come up with their own stuff but right now one of them is obsessed with Thunder Road, and since I got rid of mine, but still have enough info to be able to make a homebrew version up, I've set them to task. If the game goes down a hit I will probably look into buying one off ebay and having it as a surprise prize at christmas or maybe during the summer whole of Sweden shut down.


I got to thinking about other easily homebrewed games that are great for this kind of group, and specifically almost invite a homebrew treatment, because hand drawing or printing out maps, assigning random minis etc is part of the fun, it always was for me as a kid when I invented my own version of Memoir 44 like we all surely did many decades before Borgs version came out.


I came up with


Thunder Road
Assault on Hoth
Aliens
Forlorn Hope (yes, not so old, but it has a kind of classic feel and VPG games are kind of homebrew anyway).
Triplanetary
Speed Circuit

maybe even a bit older/light wargamey
Blue Max for example

I actually have owned all of these at some point.

Feel free to add suggestions, ideally games that you can play on a large paper map under plexi without a stupid number of components, bonus if using easily proxied minis (but not too many), a handful of cards you can stick in sleeves etc, no weird components that are a pain to emulate etc


I'm also interested in more complex stuff for the dads to give a go while they're here, dont know if they will get their heads round stuff like Gunslinger, WSIM, Starship Troopers etc
