The superhero role-playing game DC Heroes, was published by Mayfair Games in 1985, and a second edition was released in 1989. [2] The first full-length adventure to be published for the new edition was Come on Down!!, written by Ray Winninger and Jack Barker, with cover art by Paris Cullins and Romeo Tanghal, and interior art by the DC Comics staff. [3] It was published by Mayfair in 1990 as a 32-page folio. [4]
In Issue 26 of White Wolf (April/May 1991), Gene Alloway found this adventure to be too lightweight, pointing out the final brawl has a pie fight, and commenting, "Given that this adventure was done with a humourous bent, such silliness is not out of line. More serious players will find it juvenile and uninteresting. The consequences of the tape falling into the wrong hands is not really stressed, so character motivation may be low." Alloway concluded by giving this adventure only 2 out of 5, saying, "the scenario is easy to play, but not challenging to experienced gamers. If you are interested in a lighter evening or afternoon of gaming, then try this." [1]

The Mayfair Exponential Game System or MEGS is a rules system developed for role-playing games. The name comes from what fans called the game system for DC Heroes, which was also later used for Underground (1993). It is noteworthy for its use of an exponential system for measuring nearly everything in the game. This system makes it possible to have both cosmically-powered characters and ordinary human characters meaningfully interact within the same universe. For example, in DC Heroes, the first game to use MEGS, Superman's strength is several orders of magnitude more than Batman's. With the MEGS system, however, this large difference in strength is scaled down. So, while Superman would still have a clear advantage in a brawl, Batman is at least able to hold out for a while, mirroring how superhero combat often operates in comic books.
Blood of Heroes is a superhero role-playing game published by Pulsar Games. It was a successor to DC Heroes and used that game's Mayfair Exponential Game System, or MEGS. Blood of Heroes is set in its own fictional world, rather than the DC universe.
