58) And another entry for Hero Games (actually released and bought in 1989), was their entry into the sci-fi space opera market, "Star Hero".

48) Hero Games saw how successful Robotech and Battletech (along with Mechwarrior) were becoming, and had to try their hand at that market. "Robot Warriors" made use of the Hero System, and allowed you to design your own unique mech.

40) Released in early 1985, just before they updated Champions to 3rd edition, "Fantasy Hero" was the next release by Hero Games (it also predates "Danger International"). It quickly saw an update following the revised rules for 3rd edition Champions.

39) Hero Games had just released their updated version of Champions, and were starting to release their world of games in 1985. The first to get a major update was "Espionage!" which was transformed into "Danger International".

23) Hero Games released their next non-Champions game. Based on pulp action series, you could play as an adventurer in the 1930s. “Justice Inc” was brilliant and I loved the whole system.

14) Blink and you missed this one, "Espionage!" by Hero Games appeared in 1983 but was quickly transformed into a new version, with a new name, following the release of 3rd edition Champions (which had a major update to the Hero Games basic rules).
