Microgame HQ Database
Remember our working definition of a microgame from this website's front
page?
Any inexpensive--no more than $15 today, or half that a decade
ago--wargame or conflict simulation that's typically small in size and quick-playing.
The
main reason for settling on such a definition at all was this, a database
of all published microgames. It's not complete, perhaps it never will be,
but we have fun trying. Corrections, comments, or suggestions are welcome
on the mailing list.
So...how did we arrive at that definition, you may wonder. The answer
is rather long, and is the first question in the microgame FAQ.
Please check it out.
Many of the links on this page connect to Web-Grognards, the ultimate board wargaming resource on the net. Please pay them a visit!
