1 Reversi was invented in England about a hundred years ago. It achieved great popularity in the 1880's, but later fell from popularity. It has recently been reinvented as the board game 'OTHELLO'. The computer industry has adopted it as a standard computerised game, which overcomes the disadvantage that it needs two players.
1 Reversi (Games Tape 2 - Side 1)
1 Players take it in turns to lay a piece so as to capture one or more of the opponents pieces. This is achieved by typing first the number representing the line, and then the letter representing the column of the position you want to play, and pressing ENTER. Capture occurs when one or more opposing pieces lie in an unbroken line in any direction between the piece being played and another piece of the same colour. These opposing pieces are then changed to display the capturing player's colour.

1 Initialise
1 If a player cannot make any captures at all he must miss a turn by typing 'P' as a move. The game ends when either the board fills or neither player can make a legal move. The game may also be ended by typing 'E' as a move.

1 As the game progresses and the board fills up, players may find it is possible to capture several pieces at once in more than one line. Lines of capture are determined only by the position of the last piece played, pieces turned over as a result of a capture may not be used to form new capture lines in the same turn.
