So now I don't have to break it to you that the IIc+ is faster than
the IIgs. 8)  I didn't know this either!  And here I thought I was
doing well with my Laser 128EX at 3 MHz.  It *really* made a
difference when running AppleWorks, but I had to reboot at normal
speed any time I wanted to play an action game.  Come to think of it,
it made a difference in the wait time for the computer to move in
Ogre.  (But then the sounds were three time faster, too.)  Speaking of
Ogre . . . .

Have many of you played this game on the computer?  It's based on the
table top strategy game by Steve Jackson Games.  I bought it new for
my Apple II back in the day.  It's *hard* to beat the computer as the
Ogre tank.  I'm not sure I ever beat the larger tank (Mark V?).  It
was rare I could beat the smaller one (Mark III?).  Anyone else have
an experiences to share about this game?  (I'd be happy for just a
me, too on failing to beat the computer.)

I know, that is so freaky!

Me too.  :-(  But my strategic skills are so crappy that the only strategy
game I can consistently win 66% of the time is Defender of the Crown.  (Those
who know the game are laughing at me right now.)

If you want to consider it strategy, I have been getting into Archipelagos a
LOT recently now that I finally managed to crack it and have it work under
Windows XP.  Check mobygames.com for a sh*tload of information on it including
hints and tips, and you guys can always email me for my cracked copy if you
like.  

I own two legit copies so I feel that distributing my cracked copy to all of
you constitutes offsite backups in case mine go bad :-)
