If you like classic board games, you'll love Super Othello. It is a faithful reproduction of the game's original board with the same rules, but in PC form. It has three modes of play, against the computer, against another player on the same machine, and over the Internet. The game is stable and fully customizable. It's also free! Here's how to get started with this ancient game. It's easy to learn the basics.
In the original version, four disks are placed in the center of the grid. Each player's objective is to move as many disks as possible with the same color. There are four types of openings in Super Othello. The first type is sequential, while the second one is reversible. As a result, the player can only place the same-colored disks on the diagonal. The game is won if the player can get all the white-sided disks into his opponent's lane.
As a computer game, SuperOthello is not very difficult to learn, although there are still a few bugs to work out. The game runs fast, with minimal lag when moving pieces. The graphics are not perfect, but they're not unplayable. 99% of the time, the game works, but I've been stuck a couple of times while online playing. It would have been nice to have more levels of play, but that's just personal preference.
