Othello, for the Atari 2600, is a digital adaptation of the classic two-player strategy board game. Falling under the puzzle-strategy genre, it offers a simple yet compelling gameplay experience where players compete to outmaneuver each other by flipping disks to their color. The objective is to have the majority of disks turned to your color when the board is filled. This video game version translates the cerebral challenge of the physical game into an accessible format with varying levels of AI difficulty, making it suitable for players looking to test their tactical skills against a virtual opponent.
