Backgammon
Philips VG 5000 · 1984 · WOR
Publisher: Philips Interactive Media · Genre: Board Game
A video game conversion of the board game Backgammon. The game board is displayed from top to bottom and is laid out horizontally. The game allows the player to compete against a computer opponent. The object of the game is to be the first player to move their fifteen pieces off the board. Typical Backgammon rules apply. Players roll two dice (if a pair is rolled, it becomes four for that turn, with the extra two being a copy of the original pair) to move their pieces to an empty slot, a slot occupied by their own pieces, or a slot that contains only one of their opponent's pieces. Doing this will send their opponents piece back to their own base. While it is the players turn, they may undo a move they have made. The game allows the player to choose the number of matches they want to play to decide the ultimate winner (from 1 to 99).
