Description

Backgammon is a video game adaptation of the millenniums-old board game of the same name. It was developed for Nintendo's Famicom Disk System peripheral, with supervision by the Japan Backgammon Association.

The game offers several modes of play. The Demonstration and Training Play modes help ease the player into the world of Backgammon, as well as get a feel for the game's controls. Match Play is a standard exhibition match against the computer. Tournament Play is the main part of the game where the player must face off against increasingly more difficult AI opponents. Each mode has its own color scheme and music. If the player manages to beat the hardest AI in Tournament Mode, they are awarded a Certificate of Commendation by the Japan Backgammon Association. There is also a 2 Player exhibition mode available for play.
