Print and play, where a (usually amateur) designer makes printable files that allow players to create their own copies of a game, is a popular side-hobby for many gamers. Most provide some amusement and are then forgotten, but a select few reach a wider audience, and the cream of those get picked up by a publisher. Such is the fortunate fate of the excellently-named Bargain Basement Bathysphere, a roll-and-write game that sees you exploring the dangerous depths of Beachside Bay in your makeshift machine across a twenty-scenario campaign.
