Question

Has anyone ever heard of a game calle "outpost". I played it a long time ago and would love to own it again.

Answer 1

If the 'Outpost' game that Jason mentions is the one you are looking for (a space themed economic and building game), while it is out of print and hard to get, there are two games that are based on its mechanics:  Scepter of Zavandor (themed about wizards gathering power) and Phoenicia (themed about building and enconomy in ancient Phoenicia).  Zavandor is closer to the original Outpost, but I think Phoenicia is a more streamlined and playable game.

Answer 2

The only mainstream game with Outpost in the title that I'm familiar with is "Crossbows & Catapults: Castle Outpost," released in the early '80's.  You can find information on it here:  http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/9659

There was a war game called "Outpost" released in the '90's, but I highly suspect this isn't the game that you're searching for.  You can check it out here, though: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/1491

Happy hunting!
