[net.games] Directions for ogre?

jpj@mss.UUCP (J. P. Jenal) (01/27/85)

Ok, I got ogre up and running - sort of a hassle as some of the variable
names were not unique at seven characters but anyway... - but I haven't got
a clue as to how to play!  I have dug out most of the single letter
commands from the code but that doesn't provide too much insight.  If
anyone knows about the game and could pass on some pointers, please do.
Please respond directly to me as I don't get around to reading this
newsgroup that often.  If there is enough interest I will post a summary.

Thanks to all who sent me copies of the ogre manual page - I played several
times last night and lost quite consistently - but at  least I had an idea
about what was going on!  

What sort of strategy do you folks use?  It seems that immobilizing the
beast is the key to success - thought I would try beating up on a small
ogre to gain experience but it simply ran through my defenses - nasty
business, that.  Any other bright ideas?

Cheers...
