Review

I've been playing all console games in order of release date and this the third backgammon game I've come to. It is the most polished one by far. It was released along with the Intellivision console right around the same time that the Atari 2600 version of backgammon came out. The visuals in this one are the best to date. The board looks clean and the checkers actually look like checkers. Controls were nice. Instead of navigating around the board one space at a time, you navigate among your occupied spaces and specify a number to move. The game features support for two players as well as different difficulties of computer opponents. A win scores you an awesome victory tune!
