He wrote it in November 1941 when he was 21, failed to sell it to any magazine, and eventually lost the manuscript. In 1972 when Asimov compiled a collection of his earliest stories, ''The Early Asimov'', he listed "Big Game" as the last of eleven stories which he had failed to publish anywhere and which he thought were lost forever. However a fan of his, Matthew B. Tepper, discovered the missing manuscript in a collection of Asimov's old papers which were archived in the library of Boston University and sent it to him. Asimov included it in an anthology he was editing at the time, ''Before the Golden Age'' (1974), although he pointed out that he had re-used the plot of the rejected story to write " Day of the Hunters" in 1950. Plot summary The entire story consists of a conversation in a bar. A drunk man tries to convince his audience that ten years ago he built a time machine and trave ...
