Another implementation of that board game favourite, Reversi, or Othello by any other name.

No instructions were supplied with the review copy. On loading - still no instructions! - I was given the choice of being green or orange and of two levels of difficulty. I chose easy and to play against the computer.

Not being familiar with the game myself I had to contact a friend (who is familiar) for the rules. I learnt that the object of the game is to "reverse" your opponent's colours by placing your pieces in appropriate squares.

This is a faithful reproduction of the game. It's well error trapped, and you are quickly informed of an invalid move if you attempt to move onto a wrong square.

One thing that is not so fast is the computer's response in deciding its move. When the board stats filling up, even at the easy level, it seems to think for periods long enough to get bored in.

Still, it makes a change from gobbling ghosts or zapping aliens, and at £4.95 you could do worse.
