Play Othello (1982) Online – MS-DOS Game

Game Overview

Ah, Othello (1982) for MS-DOS—a digital twist on the classic board game that’s been frying brains since the 19th century! This pixelated version takes the "easy to learn, hard to master" charm of the original and plops it right onto your chunky CRT monitor. Think fast: you’re flipping tiles, outmaneuvering your opponent (or the surprisingly sneaky AI), and praying you don’t get cornered in those brutal late-game flips. The graphics? Basic, sure—but the tension? Timeless.

Whether you’re a strategy junkie or just love a good old-fashioned showdown of wits, Othello delivers that addictive "one more round" vibe. It’s chess’s cooler, simpler cousin, with all the nail-biting reversals and none of the pawns. And hey, in 1982, this was the way to hone your skills without scrounging for a human opponent. Still a blast today for anyone craving pure, unfussy tactical fun. Flip tiles or flip out—your move!
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
