Memory lane

I don't recall what prompted it, but I decided to google "metagaming microgames" and discovered there were still other people in the world who remembered playing these little gems. http://maverick.brainiac.com/cmm/mic.html I think I have 18 of the 22 games. Plus all of my Starfleet Battles stuff, miniatures, etc. Once upon a time I set out to computerize several of these games. Looks like nobody else has yet. Then again, with games like Xconq that can be customized for various worlds / rules, maybe it's just a matter of writing the proper game definitions to get one of these things going. (I remember trying to define the units for Ogre once, but Xconq didn't deal well with a single unit having multiple systems to damage and fire. It might work OK for the simpler games though.)

Getting all nostalgic. What brought that on??
