Backgammon (Compute's! Gazette)

Of all the Backgammon games for the C64, this is certainly one of them. Originally published in COMPUTE!'s Gazette 1985/11 (Issue #29), and then later in COMPUTE!'s Third Book of C64 Games. The classic game of backgammon combines equal parts of luck and strategy. This version observes all the regulations of standard backgammon. For the 64, VIC PIus/4, and C16.

In this game of backgammon, you play against the computer. Using a decision-making algorithm described below, the computer figures out the best moves. You'll find it

quite a challenge to come up with a winning strategy. The only thing missing is the doubling cube, which is sometimes used in gambling.
