Ogre was one of the first
games published in 1977 by
Metagaming Concepts , the ground breaking company who first coined the term
microgame.
Ogre was soon followed up by
GEV, which focused more on the smaller non
Ogre units in the
game.
Ogre was brought over to a new
game company named after its founder
Steve Jackson where it has see it rereleased several times, made into a
minatures version, a
book, a
GURPS module, expanded upon in
shockwave and has gathered around it a loyal
fan base who have expanded the game with new
maps,
variants and
scenerios. These can be found at the
Steve Jackson Games company web site
