Dwarves don't have claws.. I'll raise my axe instead.

Hey Dwarfy, thanks for the axe hail. I started a simple version on Wikipedia, and it was approved. So, now it can be modified if you have a Wikipedia basic account! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation:_Overkill |

I haven't seen Hawks Faq posted anywhere in years. I think its lost to time. It wasn't up to date, as I believe he missed the last two versions anyways. He has been AWOL a long time ;( Teucer and Heathkit's Faq is still can be found on Kallahar's place. http://kallahar.com/software/ooii_faq/That was written in 99'. Its pretty detailed with *very* few errors. Last time I looked thru it I recalled a few things it doesn't mention. I'm sure there may be a few things other players have figured out along the way that aren't there either. But that said, I doubt there is much missed. It was very through. To find the OOterm programs as well as a couple of other OOII related programs http://www.ziskind.com/bbs-door-games-operation-overkill-ii.asp is the place to visit. I once wrote a Faq back in the day for team play. I based it off Hawks faq, but added in all sorts of stuff for the folks on my tournament team. I lost that to a HD crash long ago. Be cool to read it now <grin> Too bad Dusty here hasn't been bribeable to create the next version of OOII. NOw that would be cool... DF |

Speaking of Wikipedia, this site could use an official players guide for the game! I know several guides have been posted around (courtesy of Teucer, Hawk, Suprax, Kallahar), but nothing uber-official. Most of the discovery of the game has been revealed, so any spoilers and secrets would be minimal. If anything, it'd be curious reading to those who used to play (or still play today). I'll see what I can fashion up on here, if it's doable with this software.

Stumbled onto this site. Could be a good template: http://www.gamebanshee.com/bbs/guides/operationoverkillii.php |

Ben Ziskind has an Overkill archive on his... website (I almost typed 'BBS' right there). He has ANSI art converted to GIF formats, articles about Nukem and the Oracle, along with downloadable .ZIP packages of earlier versions. Cool find! Thanks for keep this alive, Ben. http://www.ziskind.com/bbs-door-games-operation-overkill-ii.asp |

Do we have any Wikipedia gurus out there?
I think it'd be supercool to have an entry for Overkill on the Wiki, as a historical stamp of existence. I often read about other contemporary door games (LORD (Legend of the Red Dragon), TradeWars, Barren Realms Elite, et al.), in gamer magazines and BBS documentaries, but I guess I haven't pushed Overkill in that direction. Maybe it's time.
So, perhaps I can start up an article on Wikipedia and get it affirmed. It needs to be neutral, unbiased, matter-o-fact, like an encyclopedic article. Citations and notable references. (It might be difficult to find legitimized articles from publishers or magazines, but it's worth a look.) I'm not sure I can initiate it, either, being the author. I'll poke around.
Raise your claw if you have an interest.
