Two Steps from the Middle Ages (1988) is the final album of original material released by Game Theory before breaking up. Band leader Scott Miller went on to form The Loud Family.

The album's title has at least a double meaning (referring to both dance steps from the historical period known as the Middle Ages as well as to a person who is "two steps" from middle age) and comes from an alternating rhyme in the fifth track:

Unfolding their defense in stages
Harshest critics can't refuse
Two steps from the middle ages
Rose details and ruby shoes

The title of the song "Room For One More, Honey," is a reference to an episode of the American television program The Twilight Zone titled Twenty Two.

In 2012, the song "Rolling with the Moody Girls" was covered by Home Blitz on their EP Frozen Track.[2]
