It's some time in the early 2000s, and Cyber Dreamscape Battle-Deckers 2199 is a digital-only card game that's developed a vibrant and loyal community thanks to its freedom of character expression and the giant game cabinets it's played on. Even in your small US college town, there are players who meet and trade matches at the nearby city mall. For better or worse, the game shop in the mall is the only location close by with an officially-sanctioned CDBD battle arena setup. This has let all kinds of hyper-local tournaments and events pop up at the game shop, with all kinds of players showing up to participate. Unfortunately, it's not all fun and games when not everyone in the community gets along or plays fair- even in a game where you can spectate a brawl between a slime-girl made of bubblegum and a wrestler in a teddy bear mask..!

Battle Chess was developed by Interplay as their first project after severing ties with Electronic Arts. They designed it for the Amiga in 1988, and it was released on the majority of the other systems in the late 1980s and early 1990s as well. It was widely successful, and resulted in two follow-ups, many copy-cat games, and a remake for Steam on PC. The only significant criticism the game received was the weak chess AI, as it was not until the mid 1990s that chess ai began to consistently win against strong opponents.

Ogre is a 2D turn-based strategy game, and a direct computer conversion of Steve Jackson's board game of supertanks going against conventional infantry with howitzers. It plays exactly like the board game - on a hex-based board one player controls ordinary military units (soldiers, tanks etc.), and defends against the second player, who controls a supertank named "Ogre" - Ogre is very powerful, and can easily destroy normal weaponry and ground forces.
