Reversi (Micro Power)

You can choose whether you wish to play Black or White. Black always moves first. The object of the game is to trap and turnover the computer's counters. You can only place a counter on the board in such a position that it traps one or more of the computer's counters horizontally, vertically or diagonally against another of your counters.

A constant display of how many counters you have and how many counters the computer has got is displayed in the top right hand corner.

At the end of the game, the player will the most counters on the board wins.

The game was coded by Ian Bell, who along with David Braben, went on to develop the classic space simulation, Elite.
