Othello, also known as Tele-Games in some versions, is a video game adaptation of the classic board game for the Atari 2600. Released in 1978, it falls under the puzzle and strategy genre. Players must outthink their opponent by flipping discs to their color by trapping them between their own discs, strategically taking over the board to win. The simple yet challenging gameplay made it popular among strategy enthusiasts of that era.
