Ogre is a turn-based strategy game of mechanised warfare, requiring tactical decision-making and strategic thinking. It's the official video game adaptation of the legendary tabletop wargame from Steve Jackson Games, developed by the award-winning Auroch Digital.
In the warfare of the near future, one type of unit inspires such fear that even allies keep a safe distance: the Ogre. These AI-powered tanks are so powerful they're the equivalent of a battalion of tanks and infantry.
Hovercraft, tanks, marines, infantry, and the monstrous Ogres all take part in an endless world war. As a player, you take command and vie for supremacy on the irradiated battlefields of the future.

I Played this... back when it was a mini-game in a plastic box...
A PC adaptation sounds like a great idea, hopefully one will also be done for G.E.V. (the sequel to Ogre)
This was a neat little game where you could either command a small force of various units, (Infantry, missile tanks, heavy tanks, etc), or a single massive armored behemoth bristling with weapons. The game balance was awesome back in the day and it made for a quick half hour of fun. One critical aspect to keep in mind, this release is going to need a number of good, interesting and varied scenarios, otherwise expect little re-play value.
