In this video, Spot, released in 1990 for the Atari ST by Virgin Mastertronic.
Based on the strategy table game called Othello the field of play takes place on a 7×7 board where up to four players battle for control of the field. On each turn, a player selects an existing piece of his colour, and then an empty position one or two squares away. If the selected location is one square away, a new piece is created in that location; otherwise, the chosen piece moves from its original location to the new location. In either case, all adjacent pieces are then changed to that player's colour. The game ends when there are no free spaces available or the opponent have gone out of token.
Graphically the game is simple but well animated with good little chiptunes. We can choose the level of difficulty thus the playability is ok if you like the genre.
Here you'll find demo gameplay.
All footage taken from original hardware machines and upscaled to 1080P.
Let me know what do you think about the video in the comments below but, most important, Enjoy!!!
