TSR and HERITAGE
TSR

- These were the first microgames to include full-sized dice.
- Four more Minigames were released in 1982 for a total of eight in the series.
HERITAGE
- Heritage USA also jumped on the microgame bandwagon in 1981 with a series of small boxed games.
- These games were released through the Dwarfstar Games division of Heritage.
- There were eight microgames released through Dwarfstar, four in 1981 and four in 1982.
