Crimefighters
Crimefighters came out in 1981¸ but you won't find it on any store shelves or even on eBay¸ because it was never released as a standalone product. No¸ it was printed entirely in the middle of Dragon Magazine¸ Issue #47¸ one of the few I've managed to keep intact over the years. Of course¸ now that the Dragon CD-ROM is out¸ simply look this baby up and check it out. The game emulates the 1930s pulp adventure of characters like the Shadow¸ the Spider¸ and Doc Savage. Even if you haven't got a clue as to who these guys are¸ don'w sweat it. I sure didn't when the game came out¸ but I still had a load of fun playing it. The rules are simple to pick up¸ but you should know that Crimefighters comes from an era when RPGS were written for genres generally well understood already¸ so it includes virtually no world information.
