STAR PROBE and STAR EMPIRES
These are the classic Space Exploration and colonization games made back in the mid to late 1970's by TSR.
STAR PROBE is the game of space exploration and exploitation. Made for fans of Science Fiction and space exploration, it was made with a more realistic look at space travel. This design influenced many future RPG's.
STAR EMPIRES was the follow up release and covered the building of galactic empires. This is not a simple game that is done in one setting and is designed to be used in co-ordination with Star Probe.

SPORTS ILLUSTRATED COLLEGE FOOTBALL
We own the original formula. No one else has it. While we think there are some good charts made by some of the third party chart makers, no one but us can make a truly compatible Bowlbound College Football chart. We are making a SET 4 (three sets were officially released in the original version.
SET 4 will contain 28 teams. Files will be available for the chart and dice version as well as the computer version. Pricing for the set is $35 for the carts and $7 for the computer files IF you also purchased the chart set.
We also have some cool "freebies" in the downloads section that were made with the official formula and conform to the SET 3 standard. These charts were made by the official formula from Dr. Nicely and are available for free:
Auburn 2006
Boston College 2006
North Dakota 2001
North Dakota State 1990
Nebraska 1970 (remake)
Oklahoma State 2006
Oklahoma 1974
TCU 2006
Texas 2005
Colgate 1932
Alabama 1961
In the case of Nebraska 1970, it was released in Set 1. We thought it might be fun if we remade the chart using the set 3 formula.
There are also a number of new BOWL BOUND COLLEGE CHARTS available. These charts were created using the original formula and are fully compatible with the Original charts. You can view more details by going to the Paydirt/Bowlbound football page and scrolling down.

WIN, PLACE AND SHOW
The best horse racing game ever made just got better. Bruno cross is finishing his charts and we will have every year from 1904 to 2015 available. Everyone who has ever purchased these items says they are stunningly beautiful to look at and very accurate to play with. The amount of work that went into these charts is staggering. Some people bought the charts for Reference Material... never playing the game but they loved the charts.
2015 WPS CHARTS
Every year, we update the charts. Actually, the designer (Bruno Cross) updates the charts but we make them available on his behalf. The 2015 charts are now available. The 2016 WPS chart will be available in February, 2016.
HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
We have a detailed High School Football simulation. This is not a "quick play" game. This game is the most detailed and accurate High School Football board game available anywhere.
It covers many teams and many states, with individual players being used. It's not just a team game but a statistically accurate simulation using the best of the best in High School Football.
We also plan on taking requests and making teams on demand. But, before you flood our IN BOX with your e-mails, we will only make teams that we can find the stats for. We can almost guarantee that any team in the past 3 years is do-able. Once you start to go back further in history, the stats become more difficult to obtain. That means we can make a LOT of modern teams but we probably cannot make your favorite team from 1957.
HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL
We have a detailed High School Basketball simulation. Just like the football game, this is not a "quick play" game. This game is detailed and accurate.
It covers many teams and many states, with individual players being used. We also plan on taking requests and making teams on demand. But, before you flood our IN BOX with your e-mails, we will only make teams that we can find the stats for. We can almost guarantee that any team in the past 3 years is do-able.

BEAT THE CAT
This is a great classic game of snowmobile racing. You get Snowmobiles of various caliber and quality, you get racers of different skills and traits and you get a great looking track to race on. The track itself has the look and feel of actual snow-cross racing.
Best of all, it's free. You can request the "Print and Play" version of the game itself for free by sending a request to:
MINUITE@HOTMAIL.COM
We are making the actual racer and snowmobile updates to include new racing seasons, new snowmobile types and the latest racers.
RACE THE IDITAROD
Race the Iditarod is the board game of board game of racing the Alsaka Dog Sled Marathon race. It mimics and recreates the entire race and not just the movement. You have to know when to rest your team, deal with injuries, with mishaps and with fatigue. You make decisions on the track as to which path you choose and how you get through the race.
It is the only detailed Iditarod game I have ever seen on the market. All others are just simplistic and use the name only. This game gives you the real feel of the event.
