This is getting the Yellow-Green Pass. This is probably the easiest non-arcade-style game to pick up and play for BBC Micro that I've seen yet...even if I'm not that good at Othello.

This is the 152nd official Try It Out Tuesday clear. 84th first-day clear, 77th on a Tuesday (last was Donkey Kong on 2600 for both). 43rd BBC Micro clear (last was Ultimate Nightmare).

As for the controls, they work well! Not only are the actual BBC Micro cursor keys used here, but even using the menu isn't that bad, even if my initial misgivings of the menu controls still stand as the only nitpick that I have.

There's no sound, and there's only one piece of music, which you can take or leave. It's a good thing you can turn it off, because I can imagine it becoming annoying a little quickly. But it's there.

There's not much else to say, so it's time for the mini-review. Graphics are bright, and there's a lot of reds and yellows and whites and blacks here. As a matter of fact, that's the four colors you'll be seeing here, and they're well utilized. Not bad for a port from Amiga/ST.

Even though even the weakest CPU opponent can destroy me, it's still fun to play. As a matter of fact, I played a few four-player games with the weakest CPU, and on the last go, I barely won it. So there's that.

Well, it plays. I can move the cursor around pretty well, the game's controls are very responsive and error free. My only complaint is that you have to quickly tap the button while holding RETURN for a few of the options, and that it can be a tad easy to overshoot an option.

This game was also later published on the BBC Public Domain Disc 28. As always, another TIOT inspired by @HRGL89: youtube.com/watch?v=yPe0s6UG…

Try It Out Tuesday #439 is Infection for the BBC Micro. It's Othello. That's pretty much all you need to know about this game, because that's exactly what it is. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I'm just poor at it. #gaming #retrogaming #GamersUnite
