There are now 6 books in the series, which are based off Swords & Wizardry Light:
Superheroes X! - Golden Age Superheroes. Classes: Brick, Daredevil, Fighter, Detective, Elementalist, Gadgeteer, Metamorph, Mystic and Psychic. Uncanny War Stories X! - Horror WW2. Classes: Covert, Recon, Leader, Grunt, Para-Medic and Talisman. The Eerie West X! - Horror Old West. Classes: Shootist, Trailblazer, Cardsharp, Dude, Quack and Hexer. Terror Tales X! - Horror investigations. Classes: Scientist, Detective, Scoundrel, Adventurer, Tough Guy and Mystic. Lies & Spies X! - Cold War spies, with a psychic touch. Classes: Prowler, Swagger, Controller, Enforcer and Psy-Spy. Space Adventures X! - Sci0Fi through a retro lens. Classes: Scientist, Envoy, Scoundrel, Space Ace and Psychic.
There are two "Light" versions too Superheroes Light and Wild West Light. (only $1 each for the pdfs).
They use classes, hit dice and most of the other trappings of OSR games. All are set in the 1930's to 1960's or thereabouts.
Each book is about 14 - 18 pages (Superhroes X! is 28 pages, because of the number of powers).
Most of the books have some adventure ideas and other stuff relevant to the setting - Eerie West X! has gunfight rules, Lies & Spies X! has chase rules etc.
The X! comes from the first game in the line - I already had released Superheroes Light (which goes the 3rd level only) and expanded on it to include 6 levels, extra classes and powers etc. So it was to be Superheroes Expanded - which I quickly shortened to X! and that stuck for the others, to make them a "line" of similar games.
By all means fire some questions at me.

Let's start with links. Website? Blog? RPGNOW? Lulu? Other? They sound interesting, but give us something to look at so we know what to ask.
