The thing that struck me about this program was the amazing range of options available to the user.

The best of these was undoubtedly the action replay mode, during which you can go right back through a game to see where you made mistakes. This option appears to be unique to MOI and it certainly is a marvellous piece of programming.

The program is written in machine code and, as with the chess program above, it responds instantaneously in the lower levels. At level one (novice) I have yet to beat the computer. It really does play a mean game.

The graphics are nothing to write home about but with a game like this it is difficult to see how you can have excellent graphics.

Illegal moves are rejected so you can't cheat. This probably means I shall never beat the algorithm, but for £7.95, this program is excellent value for money.
