to be able to go back in time and either go up against butch and sundance ,or be able to join the "the whole in the wall" gang is just one the reasons I play.

Boot Hill was one of TSR's oldest role playing games, dating back to the beginnings of Dungeons & Dragons itself. The Wild West setting never really caught on in its time. Ironically, Boot Hill is probably more popular now, and copies are scarce.

The 1st edition was published in 1975, and would be recognizable to anyone familiar with the original D&D "brown" books.

The 2nd edition was published as a box set in 1979. This is the set most familiar to Boot Hill players. It contains the 36-page rulebook, poster map, and counters. A re-release of the box set in 1984 featured a Frederic Remington cover ("The Cow Puncher"). Contents are identical, save the rulebook's cover matches the box. The 1984 version is quite rare.

A 3rd edition (ISBN 0880389761, also available on Amazon) was released as a 128-page perfect-bound book.

Thsi is one of my all-time favorite TSR role playing game. I wish I could find one in good condition, for under $80 bucks. I would jump on it right away.
