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.

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