Metagaming -- best known for the Fantasy Trip -- folded in 1983. Steve Jackson, designer of the early game, started his own game company, and GURPS would later show influence from The Fantasy Trip.




Dragons of Underearth (Metagame 2)

The 3 scenarios in the back are thinly-veiled Middle Earth set pieces, including Duel of Wizards and Adventurers vs. Trolls. But the last is my favorite: Battle of the Chasm. A Greater Demon and some orcs/trolls confront a party comprised of a wizard, 2 human fighters, dwarf fighter, elf archer, and 4 halflings (one of whom has a Ring of Invisibility that requires 1 ST per round to use). Oh, and the victory conditions lay out varying degrees of a Dark Power victory or a Fellowship victory.
-Wayne


"DRAGONS OF UNDEREARTH gives you danger and glory in a complete, fantasy role-playing game where you are the hero. UNDEREARTH simplifies play, giving you more time for action and surprise. Included are character creation. magic, monsters and combat (introductory, intermediate & advanced versions for easy learning). And, you don't need a game master or special dice.

UNDEREARTH is Metagaming's basic fantasy role-playing system. LORDS OF UNDEREARTH introduced the small group combat rules. DRAGONS OF UNDEREARTH expands to a complete character role-playing system. UNDEREARTH is compatible with THE FANTASY TRIP. Players don't need rules from one system to play the other but will find they mix perfectly.

RECOMMENDED FOR: Those wanting an easy start to fantasy gaming or those wanting a smoother playing system.

MicroGame Series


"This is the first in a new scries — MicroGames. Small in format but big in play value, MicroGames are for the person who enjoys games but doesn't want to spend a lot of money — or spend all day playing.
But MicroGames aren't kid stuff. They're challenging, fast-moving, and fun. When you finish one game, you'll want to play more...and you'll have the time to do it.
Check out the MicroGames. You may find you're getting more play for less money." (from the back of the Ogre MicroGame booklet.)





OGRE (MicroGame 1)

Metagaming's first MicroGame is also one of the most iconic: Ogre. The cover of the 3rd printing was carried over to the
Steve Jackson Games black plastic box version.

-Wayne


"The command post is well guarded. Tanks, armed hovercraft, missile cannon, infantrymen in powered armor — all with one mission: to defend that vital spot. And your job is to go in and destroy it. Alone.
But when those defenders see you, they'll wish they were somewhere else. Because you're not a man. You're a thinking machine — the deadliest device on any battlefield.
You're the OGRE.


OGRE is a tactical ground combat game set in the next century. In 2085 A.D., armored warfare continues - faster and deadlier than ever.
Hovercraft, tanks, and powered infantry slug it out with tactical nuclear devices. But the most feared weapon of all needs no human guidance. It's the giant cybernetic tank called the Ogre.
The basic version of OGRE gives one player a force of infantry and armor, and a command post he must defend. The other player has only one unit - but it's an Ogre. It's an even match.
Advanced games allow solitaire or multi-player action - with Ogres on both sides. Optional rules include concealed units, mines, and self-destruct.
Game components include 8 1/4" by 14" play map, 112 unit counters, and illustrated rule booklet."

Chitin I: The Harvest Wars (MicroGame 2)

"On a far planet, summer is ending. It is the time of harvest. And across the fields pour the Hymenoptera - intelligent insects with only one goal... more food for the Hive.

Chitin I is a tactical abstract from Metagaming's Hymenoptera game system. It simulates a battle between two hive cities struggling for greater shares of food - the harvest, or the bodies of the enemy! Workers, Fliers, Basics, and the different types of warriors they command make Chitin I a detailed yet easy-to-learn game in a setting that may really exist... somewhere...

Science fiction fans and gamers alike will enjoy Chitin I.

This is the second in a new series — MicroGames. Small in format but big in play value, MicroGames are for the person who enjoys games but hates to spend a lot of money — or can't play all day.

But MicroGames aren't kid stuff. They're challenging, fast-moving, and fun. When you finish one game, you'll want to play more — and you can.

Check out the MicroGames. You may find you're getting more play for less money.

Components include:
* 8 1/4" x 14" game map

Olympica: The U.N. Raid on Mars, 2206 A.D. (MicroGame 7)
"OLYMPICA simulates the U.N. Mars raid to capture the Web Mind Generator from a heavily defended area near Nix Olympica's massive caldera. The Webbie revolutionaries are deep in their tunnel complexes surrounded by strongpoints and infantry. The raiders will use infantry, laser tanks, lifters and the tunnel busting BOAR drill. If they fail man's future may fall to the telepathic, religion/machine Web Mind of Mars.
OLYMPICA is the clever tactical creation of Lynn Willis. His future history of the Martian revolution of 2206 hinges on the crucial U.N. raid. The game is easy to learn, fast playing, and challenging. Like the other Microgames, it is ideal for beginners and fun for pros. OLYMPICA is the perfect game for those who've never tried science fiction games.

Holy War (MicroGame 13)
"Amtik the god had a problem. The universe was internal to his 400,000km long self. He was ”god" to the universes' inhabitants. Unfortunately, only the Holy Band truly believed in and worshipped Amtik. The unruly Sunthrowers believed in Amtik's existance, however, they also believed that “Iife was not an end, but a by-product of systems design".
Amtik was in danger! The Sunthrowers were hurling stars at his universe sensor ducts. The Holy Band wanted his divine intervention. A sun in the ducts would dissipate poor Amtik and free his creations. While the Holy Band mightily struggled to believe and triumph, Amtik might even get bored and “turn-off" his universe -- is a puzzlement.
HOLY WAR is a two player strategic game of "religious" war. It includes a 12" x 14" map representing three dimensions, a 24 page rules booklet, and 135 play counters. Ship types include Rangers, Probes, Warp Line Generators, Luck Ships, Star Busters, Jammerswarms, Pressorships, Psycheship, Emissary of Prayerships and more conventional combat types.

Annihilator / One World (MicroGame 14)

"Two games in one...

One World is the game of godly conflict for those who've dreamed secretly of divine power. Each player is a god who must contend with a pretentious challenger.

ANNIHILATOR is a giant, planet-killing, computer-controlled spaceship. Pan-Human Alliance assault squads and demolition teams blast their way through the ship to get to Annihilator's brain core. The ship has security robots, repairbots, and automatic defenses to stop the humans. Like One-World, ANNIHILATOR is a tense and exciting game."
