We are not a software company. Most of our games are card games, boardgames, or roleplaying game books, and the programs that run our play by mail games are not available. However, if you are only looking for software, here are the programs we do have available: (Add $3 postage & handling to all orders shipped to a USA address.)

Please specify whether you want the following on 3" disks, or on a CD. If you order them on a CD we will include a scanned copy of the manual on the CD instead of a hard copy, but the price will be only $10 instead of $14.95.

TUNNELS & TROLLS: New World Computing did a computer version of our T&T roleplaying game some years ago. It is no longer available in the usual computer channels, but we still have a few copies left for $14.95 It comes in a zip lock baggie instead of a box, but it includes a color map of the T&T continent. We can provide it in 3" or 5" format. (Requires 640K, hard drive & mouse optional, requires two floppy drives or hard drive. EGA or CGA - this is an old game) Unfortunately the cluebook is no longer in print, but if we get any demand for it, we are seriously considering reprinting it. The graphics on this program are of course somewhat outdated. You are looking down from an overhead view in both the movement screen and the combat (tactical) screen. But there is a LOT of stuff in this program. (Those of you who have played a lot of our solo adventure books will recognize some of it, but be careful that you aren't led astray by your extra knowledge!)

NUCLEAR WAR: New World Computing also did a computer version of our popular Nuclear War card game. It is also no longer available anywhere but from us. This computer game is for one player, competing against 4 computer opponents. (You get to select your opponents from about a dozen fictional versions of real world leaders such as "Jimmy Farmer", "Ronald Raygun", "Maggie Satcher", etc.). It's $14.95. It also comes in a zip lock baggie instead of a box, and is available in 3" or 5" format, and also not available in the usual computer channels anymore. (If you purchased this program for your 386 computer, and find now that it doesn't work on your 486, there is a fixed version available. Send us your old disks and $5 and we'll send you the corrected version. I realize it's annoying to pay extra for a fixed version, but WE weren't the ones who put out a version that won't run on a 486, and New World Computing no longer supports the program. I'm not sure $5 even covers our cost. We'll send it to you on a 3" disk unless you specify 5". If you don't know what a 386 or a 486 computer is, ignore this paragraph. This is a DOS program and should run on any computer that lets you run DOS programs. ) This is a fun little program that you can play in about an hour, and can play over and over. I've personally played it about 20 times and only won twice.
Requirements for the Nuclear War game: keyboard or mouse play, 512K CGA/EGA, 640K MCGA/VGA, recommended 8+ MHz (in other words, it's an oldie. It does run on a Pentium or 486). Unfortunately, since we did not program this game, we do not have the source code, and have no plans to make it available for Mac. (We would if we could, but it is not possible for us.)

Nuclear War computer game on 3" disk

THE BUFFALO TALE: I purchased the "Bards Tale Construction Kit" and made up a "Bards Tale" adventure using the Flying Buffalo offices and employees. Meet Lee and Chuck and Lisa (and me, Rick). See my boojum tree. Exterminate the termites and evil "dust bunnies" in our offices. Explore the notorious Flying Buffalo "basement" that doesn't really exist (a very old "in" joke). See the controversial "pots" on the Phoenix freeway. Rescue my ex-girlfriend from "program bugs" and "hardware problems". Drink Mountain Dew. And be the first person to finish the game, get the password, and win a prize from Flying Buffalo. (Yes, after all this time, still no one has done it! First one who does gets a free tshirt. But even if you're the second or third, we'll give you a bumper sticker for your effort.) The game is actually fairly difficult at first, until you build up to 3rd level so you can cast spells that destroy a bunch of monsters at once. (The termites are especially difficult if you can't kill a bunch all at once). Then it's easy for a long time, until the very last monster. You really have to build up before you can tackle the final monster. Anyway, send $10 for this one and ask for "The Buftale".
For some reason this hasn't attracted much attention. If you are an FBI fan or a Bards Tale fan, you ought to pick this up just for grins. As of Nov 2004 I am still willing to give away prizes to anyone who tells me the "password" from winning this game.

BATTING AVERAGES PROGRAM FOR BASEBALL OR SOFTBALL: I coach a mens slow-pitch softball team in the City of Scottsdale leagues, and couldn't find a cheap program to keep track of baseball statistics, so I got my programmer to write one for me. No doubt there are others now, but since I have this one, I am making it available to others for $10. Easy to use, IBM only, specify 3" disks or CD. Runs in basic. Feel free to make copies for your friends & fellow coaches. (They should send me $10 if they like it!) Keeps track of batting averages, power index, and if you like, fielding (error) percentages and pitching statistics. I use it for softball, but of course the numbers are the same for baseball (or little league).
