_________________________

Checkers is a conversion of the board game. Two players can challenge each other, or one player can go against the computer. The game features multiple skill levels, a "bail out" option which lets the computer suggest a move, the ability to take back a move, and the option to allow yourself or the computer to move first.


CATALOG DESCRIPTION:

Pit your skill and imagination against an opponent who can assess the board opposition in a few seconds and think several moves ahead.

The computer won't make a foolish mistake, but you can still beat it...if you concoct a strategy it can't handle.

Hi and Lo skill levels 
"Bail Out" button asks computer to recommend your next move 


PRODUCTION NOTES:

The game Checkers is known as Draughts in Great Britain, necessitating a packaging change for the English market.

The program code was recycled in the Triple Challenge cartridge released by INTV Corporation.
