OT: Steve Jackson
Anybody remember the good old days of Steve Jackson's boxed games, such as Car Wars or Ogre? I do. Fond memories. Now, more than 30 years later, I live in a foreign country and nobody here has ever heard of them, not surprisingly. Yet my own boy will soon be old enough to play them. Anyone know if they are still available for purchase anywhere? (I lost my copies decades ago...)
On a related note, I could not help wonder why the SJ game "Ogre" and its subsequent expansions was never made into a SP computer game. From my attempts at searching, I come up with nothing. But perhaps you wise people here who know the indie computer market much better than I would have an idea: Do you know of a decent iteration of a game similar to SJ's "Ogre"? Something nice and simple, and hence equally well-employable for an AI.
Thanks much!
