In the 21st century, where battlefields are dominated by speedy hovercraft and heavily armored tanks that hurl tactical devices across miles of crater and rubble-strewn terrain, there is one tank that is more terrifying that all the others: the OGRE.The OGRE is a cybernetic tank - a fighting machine completely controlled by computers -- a killer robot with a passionless intelligence that knows everything about efficient destruction and nothing about fear or mercy. A computer strategy game for one or two players, OGRE is an adaptation of the Steve Jackson board game of the same name. Epitomizing simplicity and play balance, OGRE has one player defend a command post with a variety of conventional forces while the opponent attempts to overrun the command post using a single OGRE. In the one player version the computer controls the OGRE against the human's defense forces.Computer OGRE can be played using joystick, mouse, or keyboard and features a system of windows and easy-to-use pull-down menus to permit the player to design custom battlefields by placing craters and rubble on the fielld at will and setting up the playing pieces in any desired configuration.

The Other Side is designed to create an environment that simulates situations of conflict and cooperation between two countries, represented by groups of three to four players. Much of the activity during a 90-minute run entails exploring and drilling for three types of fuels. To prosper, each country must obtain rare fuel that is available only from the other country. Limited communication between the countries can take place through a computer hotline. Conflictual behavior takes the form of launching bombs that destroy possessions of the other side. Nations whose economies are not successfully managed fall prey to their C.A.D. (Computer Assisted Defense) system, which temporarily generates decisions that tend to heighten conflict with the other side. The game can be played in either of two modes. In the cooperative mode, the objective is to build a bridge between the two countries that will benefit both in as few years as possible. In the competitive mode, the side that adds the last brick to the bridge is declared the winner. For Grade 5 and up.
