8088 Othello

There’s something oddly poetic about 8088 Othello, a 1985 take on the classic board game that feels like it was programmed by someone who had a personal vendetta against flashy graphics. The visuals are almost nonexistent, the sound is silent protest, and yet - somehow - it works. This is Othello in its purest form: black versus white, brain versus CPU, and pride versus the growing suspicion that the computer is cheating. It’s brutally efficient and entirely humorless, like playing chess with a grumpy librarian. But it does exactly what it promises, and that, in 1985, was a minor miracle.
