Outwit Board Game - SMcNeill - 12-23-2023
Quote:Hello all,
I've complete another game I wrote on the Tandy 2000 about 30 years ago. Outwit is a 2 player board game.
From the instruction sheet:
"EQUIPMENT: 1 playing board with 90 squares, including two corners of 9 squares each. 18 chips (9 dark and 9 light), one chip on each side has a dot on it, called the "power chip".
OBJECT: To be the first to slide all nine of your chips into your own corner of the board."
The chips are setup in the middle of the board at start. Each player plays alternately one chip in one direction only. a regular chip may move horizontally or vertically only. A power chip may move also diagonally. A regular chip must slide as far as it can go. Stopped only by reaching the edge of the board, another chip or the opponent's corner. A power chip can stop whenever it wants, but must stop for the same reasons as a regular chip.

RE: Outwit Board Game - mnrvovrfc - 12-24-2023
Wow Donald really was a brave type. Had a Tandy2000 -- dared to be different in the early 1980's. The only thing I had known about the Tandy2000 is that it wasn't "IBM PC compatible", it was Tandy's vain attempt to start their own revolution. It underscored their TRS-80 and many other things they did in the future.
I would have liked to know a few things about using that computer, though. It might be like using a Commodore Amiga in the first few years it existed.
