You play Reversi on a board similar to that of draughts or chess.

Moves are made by placing a counter on a vacant square next to an opponent's piece - the idea being to have as many counters as possible showing your colour when the game ends.

So you must "reverse" your opponent's pieces - your opponent being the computer.

In this version you move by entering the row number, then the column - the board is numbered to help you. The computer then acts on the move, and if you try anything illegal it will tell you to re-enter the move.

There are two ways to play. In one you can take your time to move. In the other, you have to make your move in four seconds or lose your go.

Be extremely careful when pressing keys to follow instructions. It's very easy to clear the program and end up loading it again.

As yet another computer version of a popular board game, this one should have been a lot better.

In short, nothing to get excited about.
