Heh. I've still got my set, but it's nice to see folks who missed them can get them as downloads. Great games, all in all, with the really good ones (which is pretty much everything but the Goblin game in my book) being some of the best microgames ever.

I have yet to win Barbarian Prince even though I have tried at least 2 dozen times (I've been killed in the first day). Unfortunately the one I really want to see and read through is one that isn't available for download (Dragon Rage). What could be more fun than destroying a city with dragons...

FWIW, Barbarian Prince is probably one of the easier ones to print out for yourself. No counters, and the map is pretty basic. Mostly just lots and lots of encounter listings. Wonderfully satisfying game when you actually manage to win, and unlike most solo quest games there are lots and lots of different ways to do so. More likely you'll die of thirst in a desert wasteland, or be hacked to bits by bandits, or the asassins will catch up to you...but those endings are kind of fun too.
Star Smuggler is at least as versatile, albeit a little more predictable. I can dimly remember running a 1st Ed GURPS Space campaign set in that universe.
Dragon Rage is very, very good. Clever, many approaches to victory, and lots of replay value. Maybe Pulsipher can find you a copy? Or twist his arm into getting a reprint done, maybe without such damnably tiny counters/hexes. I know I'd buy the game as a $30 boxed set, and I've still got a copy even.
