These combat calculators are interesting considering they were made in 1974:

I just searched exhaustively, but found only one other reference to a sale of one of these mint in wrapping for a few dollars.

Does anyone know what it was made for?

I love the first answer to the first question: how does he know who is going to win before the auction ends?

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

2"-deep box with a copy of Basic Role-Playing?

Yeah, sounds like a 1st edition, 1st printing to me.

The second seller also has GURPS Riverworld and a few other nice GURPS items including a couple of Conan adventures.

Move along, move along: no Riverworld to see here

I never watched the Prisoner: is it particularly worth checking out?

Absolutely - though how you'd roleplay it is beyond me! (probably why those GURPS books go so high

)

The Gurps Prisoner book is also highly sought after because it's a "crossover" genre; those who are fanatical about the TV series (and their are many!) collect it because of all the background it gives on the series and subject matter, along with the episode recaps and such. Looks like it would be a fun espionage type campaign if anyone really put the effort into running it.

BTW Gro you really ought to rent a few episodes someday; it's considered one of the top 30 or so TV series of all time (It made Time magazine's top 100 shows of all time), rightly so. There was never anything like it before it came out, and nothing like it until maybe 30 years later (In the Twin Peaks and Lost genre perhaps). The series is a masterpiece of Cold War paranoia and subversion. Patrick McGoohan is absolutely brilliant.

http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/article/0,28804,1651341_1659196_1652628,00.html

You can trace Lost, The X-Files, and every other paranoid show-puzzle in the last few decades to this enigmatic story of Number 6 (Patrick McGoohan) and his attempt to escape a charming little gulag by the seaside. The British series (seen first by Americans on CBS) imagined a deceptively beautiful totalitarian communityâ€”"the village"â€”in which people's memories were erased, no one could be trusted and the premises were patrolled by the most sinister big white balloons you ever saw. Resonant with cold-war suspicions (who is the enemy? Is it us?), the 17-episode series offered closure of a sort, though fans argue over its details and its resolution to this day. Whatever your theory, this most Kafkaesque of TV series was, well, captivating.

Edit: Great series! I loved all but 1 or 2 of the episodes.
