Though Gamescience is mentioned nowhere in the book, the typeset and product numbering are consistent with a Gamescience release. The internal formatting is simply awful. Lou Zocchi decided to mix a catalog of games stocked by Zocchi Distributors right on the same pages as the rules text, with no defining breaks between text and advertising.

This Space Patrol booklet is the 1st edition to the later Star Patrol box set. "Seek out across infinite space the ultimate destinies of characters in your control. Travel to new worlds and dimensions for exploration and treasure. Meet the myriad sentient lifeforms inhabiting a thousand planets and prove your right to exist among them. Space Patrol is all that and more. This set of rules covers all forms of personal combat from rocks to atomic blasters. In addition there is contact with alien lifeforms, learning about new and strange devices, constructing realistic scenarios, and the random generation of alien intelligences and creatures. Such diverse elements as "psionics" and gravity are also dealt with. Space Patrol requires pencils, lots of paper, regular and polyhedra dice, and last but not least, a sense of wonder." 1977 ...

See the full photoshoot at my game blog: STAR PATROL (1981): Early Science Fiction RPG from Gamescience "STAR PATROL is a comprehensive, science fiction oriented, role playing game which simulates ship to ship combat as well as on planet adventures.

You'll find 34 different types of contact weapons, 32 types of armor, 13 types of shielding, 77 types of ranged weapons from rocks to power cannons and phasers. 32 different types of aliens, taken from many of the most popular S.F. classics, are defined in detail so that they can be incorporated, or new ones created. All tables, charts and graphs needed for play are repeated in the central pull out section so that the mission master has quick reference to needed information. Starship combat rules include anti-acceleration fields, hyperdrive, an encounter generation system, combat rules, a space vector movement ruler, 20 military spacecraft and 11 civilian types plus spaceship modification rules and customizing with 18 different spaceship weapons, weapon accuracy tables, missile damage and hit location tables, as well as scale drawings and reproduceable counters for table top or mapboard play.

A random scenario generator enables mission masters to run entire random adventures by rolling up landing zones, terrain, weather, encounters with creatures, artifacts, aliens, resources and hazards, as well as copeing with meteor storms, radiation, dust pools, treacherous footing and unknown surfaces. 5 READY TO PLAY SCENARIOS INCLUDE * shipwrecked crewmen attempting to survive on the hostile planet Flamaraii with salvaged equipment. Can they find their way home? * Professional adventurers scour the spaceport searching for someone who can pay for their special skills. Chances to become a pirate, mercenary or bootlegger are as frequent as opportunities to join the Space Patrol, Merchant service or other legitimate organizations. * A marine strike force has been ordered to find and destroy the secret T'Rana outpost on a remote planet outside the Leagues blockade. Since T'Rana troopers are controlled by psionic leaders, chances for surprise are nil! * A derelict starship must be boarded to discover the fate of its missing crew. * A strike team searches the tunnel complex of pseudo-arachnids in search of brain bug leaders and/or human prisoners. This fast playing, excitement packed scenario can be played SOLO! CONTENTS: This game has 24 full color cardboard characters and aliens, in 25mm scale to match the 25mm scale ship plans provided for the derelict starship adventure, as well as a star map of the league star system, a blank 22 X 35 inch hex mapsheet, full set of GAMESCIENCE brand HIGH IMPACT polyhedra dice and options for portraying authentic space movements with a TI-58 or TI-59 programable calculator." 1981 ... Gamescience 10103 Check Wayne's Books Inventory  The Original Tegel Manor: Revised & Expanded
See also the REAL original Tegel Manor, by Judges Guild. "TEGEL MANOR is one of the best known and most challenging adventure classics ever created by Judges Guild author Bob Bledsaw. It has now been comprehensively revised, expanded and improved by Wizards' Realm author Niels Erickson, and modified to work with all role-playing systems. Designed for medium to highly skilled characters, this volume will provide well over a hundred hours of gaming, particularly for adventurers who seek to penetrate every secret connected with the foreboding old fortress. Parties will encounter numerous adventure situations as they make their way through Tegel Village and the grounds surrounding the manor. Once inside that ancient edifice, they can explore its more than 200 rooms and hallways -- libraries, temples, galleries and much more -- as well as its four underground-level dungeons. This infamous haunted manse is fraught with deadly perils! In its labyrinthine passageways lurk menaces, monstrosities and magicks fell and foul. A moderately-experienced Gamemaster will find that the extensively detailed room descriptions quickly set the scene and mood for the excitement to follow. In addition to the usual quests for wealth, powerful magicks or glory, GMs will easily find more than 50 compelling reasons for sending heroic adventurers into TEGEL MANOR: Can they find the accursed gem, the Heart of Darkness? Can they root out the evil which emanates from the fortress to threaten the surrounding countryside? Can they locate the Cauldron of Regeneration or the other potent wizardry hidden here -- flying carpets, magical statues and more? Can they liberate a most unique prisoner and complete a quest for justice? Or close the portal to Hell itself? In addition to werewolves, vampires and liches, evil spirits and sinister secrets, one may encounter wry humor or fiendish puns -- and perhaps the rare tome or important alchemist's aid to be found therein. TEGEL MANOR can provide many sessions of mesmerizing mystery and frantic action for your campaign, with whatever fantasy role-playing game system you favor. Included are a Gamemaster's and players' versions of the map of the manse itself, as well as maps of the levels below, and of the surrounding countryside. Area background and notable NPCs are described in detail, while a separate section enumerates the diabolical denizens who make the fortress their home. Other play-aids include tables for dire magics and optional additions to the perils already present, along with Universal Format information. (Tegel Village is also located on the maps of The City-State of the Invincible Overlord, now published by Mayfair Games, which could provide many other possible tie-ins for your campaign.)" 1989 ... 40 pages + 17x22" Referees Map + 11x17" Players Map ...
