Any good search engine (my personal favorite is www.metacrawler.com)
should find his home page. He's pretty active on the Web.

Hmm. How about Steve Jackson? His _Ogre_ was the first microgame.
You should be able to find his company's website as well. I didn't
realize that Greg Costikyan had anything to do with Metagaming though.

If you can't find either of them, let me know and I'll try to dig up
some URLs.

Likewise.

Last time I checked that was Greg Costikyan's virutal abode.

Yes, he works for Crossover Technologies in NYC. But I believe he was at SPI and
West End Games during the Metagaming days. Steve Jackson would be a good bet as
someone else mentioned. Also Bill (W.G.) Armintrout who did illustrations for a
lot of the early microgames is still in the computer game industry in Austin.

I used to have a copy of the original Ogre with the black and white cover, before
they did the "fancy" version that added red. What a classic!
