I am curious. What is your favorite Steve Jackson Game? Mine is OGRE miniatures game. Still fun!

Not sure if Melee and Wizard count (they were released by Metagaming but designed by Mr Jackson), but they are still very good. My friends and I also enjoyed Globbo!, an odd little game from the 80s that has long been OP. When I mentioned this to the young staff at his booth once, they denied there had ever been such a game. So you see, it didn't leave much of an industry impression. Good fun though.

Ogre, hands down. I used to own Illuminati, and always thought I would like it, but never found any interested players, so I sold it. Kinda wish I hadn't, as my group now would probably give it a go.
ubercommando	20 May 2018 1:01 p.m. PST
I can't decide between Illuminati or Car Wars.
miniMo	20 May 2018 1:02 p.m. PST
Ogre! Though I probably have played Illuminati more. Fantasy Trip system, also quite decent, is Jackson and it's coming back rsn.
Herkybird	20 May 2018 1:07 p.m. PST
Kung Fu 2100…absolutely!
Wackmole9	20 May 2018 1:30 p.m. PST
Melee and wizard

This will need a 'never heard of him' option…
DisasterWargamer	20 May 2018 1:35 p.m. PST
For Miniatures GEV (as a Microgame – more depth than Ogre alone) and the Fantasy Trip Though have to admit – I played a game of Ogre Smash years ago I loved – Ogres, and all other units made out of clay and judged by other players to be game worthy or not. Fantasy Trip particularly the original Melee I have used the most For Card Games – Munchkin Impossible

Car wars

Fighting Fantasy…. oh wrong Steve Jackson. Man to Man Combat. A set of stand alone GURPS fantasy combat rules, released as a preview for the GURPS RPG system.

jfleisher	20 May 2018 4:53 p.m. PST
I would have to say Ogre, since 1977.
jowady	20 May 2018 5:20 p.m. PST
Another vote for Melee Wizard The Fantasy Trip
Katzbalger	20 May 2018 5:21 p.m. PST
I've played Globbo! and it was great fun…came in a magazine, if I remember correctly, but my favorite is GEV (second is Ogre). Still have my original copies of the latter two (Globbo! was a friend's game). Rob
The Nigerian Lead Minister	20 May 2018 5:44 p.m. PST
The Awfuk Green Things from Outer Space. And Ogre as a close second.
robert piepenbrink	20 May 2018 6:42 p.m. PST
Ogre/GEV
miniMo	20 May 2018 7:11 p.m. PST
Awful Green Things is a Tom Wham game, now published by Steve Jackson Games, but not a Jackson design.
Andrew Walters	20 May 2018 10:10 p.m. PST
Ogre is number one, The Fantasy Trip is second. Once upon a time Illuminati would have been number one, I had some great times with that one.
sillypoint	21 May 2018 1:57 a.m. PST
Illuminati- now dated…fond memories with friends now past. Currently resurrecting Car Wars.
Dragon Gunner	21 May 2018 3:07 a.m. PST

Car Wars….Still have the Hot Wheels cars we modified to play it 30 years ago.
Micman	21 May 2018 8:39 a.m. PST
Car Wars. Although I have bought the new ORGE plastic minis.
Phil DAmato	21 May 2018 9:31 a.m. PST
That's a hard one. I loved Ogre and the Fantasy trip. Tough to decide one over the other. Phil
PzGeneral	21 May 2018 10:03 a.m. PST
The Fantasy Trip. Outstanding game. Then Ogre. I have the GIANT box set that was a KS, I got it for a song later. I've since backed KS Ogre minis I and II, and the still ongoing Ogre Miniatres rules….

OGRE/GEV as well …
Tony S	22 May 2018 4:08 p.m. PST
Can't decide between Ogre/GEV and Car Wars. Bought all the supplements and expansions and magazines for both of them!
Field Marshal	22 May 2018 6:32 p.m. PST
Was Raid On Iran one of his? I liked that one
