Posted On: June 11, 2023

I loved Metagaming Concepts' board games like Ogre and WarpWar and always thought that they could have been made into PC games.


Did any of Metagaming Concepts' board games make it to the PC?


Question from user user273 at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

After Metagaming Concepts went out of business and Steve Jackson founded Steve Jackson Games, there eventually was a release of Ogre for the computer in 1986 as published by ORIGIN Systems, Inc.


Here's a page of release info from Moby Games, and there's tangential mention at Wikipedia under Spin-Offs.


It seems to be the only one that made it to any electronic format.
