Task Force Games

The two versions of King's Bounty wound up releasing about 9 months apart, and after NWC had sold TFG to John Olsen.

One game, Supervillains (1982), attempted to combine a board wargame with elements of role-playing.

[citation needed] Task Force Games became the parent of AutoVentures and began releasing their products, beginning with The Road in 1985.

Shipped in zip locks bags (eventually shrinkwrap), and priced at $3.95, the games were designed to be easy to learn and quick to play.

All told they released twenty-two, all but three with science fiction or fantasy themes, including many that are still highly regarded today.
