P.R.O.B.E. Case Files
In 2021, following the revival of the P.R.O.B.E. series by Arcbeatle Press, BBV Productions released two series of P.R.O.B.E. Case Files. While the first six were released on the BBV Productions Youtube channel, beginning with Goo! each release was available for purchase on the BBV website as a home video. These notably included crossovers with other BBV series, such as Faction Paradox and Cyberon.
