[1] Founded in the summer of 1975 in Jericho, New York[2] by Scott Bizar, the company's first publications were the wargames Gladiators and Royal Armies of the Hyborean Age.

Upon the appearance and popularity of Dungeons & Dragons from TSR, the company turned its attentions to role-playing games, seeking and producing systems from amateurs and freelancers, paying them 10% of the gross receipts.

Fantasy Games Unlimited won the All Time Best Ancient Medieval Rules for 1979 H.G.

[2] Bizar continues to publish in Arizona as a sole proprietorship called Fantasy Games Unlimited.

At that time, FGU sought submissions for new adventures for their existing titles, primarily Aftermath!, Space Opera, and Villains and Vigilantes.
