Atari 2600The Video Game Critic

This is the type of game that does not age well. The pieces are small and difficult to discern, and the computer can take up to a few minutes to make a single move. The computer AI is not bad, but I heard it's been know to cheat (absolutely true!). Intermediate players might find some challenge in Video Chess, but there's really no point in putting up with the slowness and bad graphics.
