Othello (オセロ) is a SG-1000 video game based on the board game Othello.
Two versions of Othello exist for the SG-1000. The first version, released in 1983, was built into the Othello Multivision (which is where the system gets its name from). Sega would later re-release this game in cartridge form in 1985, offering significant graphical and AI improvements over Tsukuda Original's version.
The objective of the game is to take the opposing king. When the king cannot avoid being caught on the next move, the game is over. They say the king is "Matt". The shogi opposes two players who take turns playing. The Shogi chess board is called Shogi Ban ("Shogi table") and has 81 squares (9 x 9), the three rows furthest from the players constituting their promotion area. At the start of the game each player has 20 pieces: a king, a rook, a bishop, two gold generals, two silver generals, two horsemen, two spears, and nine pawns.
This version of the classic board game supports several graphic formats and offers some different options. From 2 to 8 players can play the game, and they can all be computer players if you wish. This allows you to just sit back and watch as the computer takes over. You can choose to play a short game with a specified time limit, or a standard game, and there is a save game feature.
All actions are handled entirely by keyboard. Questions appear in the center area of the board (for buying property, for instance). Pressing the first letter of a word from the top bar takes that action (Q for Quit as an example). Player stats can be viewed on the screen.
