This is one of the earliest Backgammon videogame along with the [Channel F Backgammon](/software/backgammon-acey-deucy/) released the year before (1977).

There are two game variations:\
\- two players game\
\- play against the computer

This is an important point: to be able to play against the computer. In 1978 it was not that common.

The graphics are quite decent for such an early version.
