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.
