Backgammon
By Microdeal
Dragon 32

 
Published in Home Computing Weekly #18

A machine code version of Backgammon with high resolution graphics and full colour.

There are nine levels of play. A game can be played against a friend, the computer, or you can sit back and watch the computer play itself. The computer throws the dice or you can input your own moves.

Apparently you can use a Microdeal light pen - I don't possess one so I didn't try this option. There is even an option to switch off the sound - good ragan thinking, Microdea1! Actually the sound effects are quite good.

I played many games using different options each time and found each game thoroughly enjoyable. this is an excellent representation of the game with good presentation on screen.
