SE3K Survivors Experience 3000

Othello

Sega · 1985

Othello against the machine — the board game Goro Hasegawa codified in 1971 and named after the play, and the game Tsukuda Original built an entire console around. Discs are flipped by being flanked, and the position that looks won two moves from the end usually is not.
