DESCRIPTION

Kengi, released in 1991 by Software 2000 for MS-DOS (and Amiga), is a digital adaptation of the classic board game Othello (Reversi). Players take turns placing green aliens on an 8x8 grid, flipping opponent pieces by sandwiching them between their own. The game supports Hercules monochrome graphics and VGA modes, as indicated on the packaging. It comes in a big box format with colorful artwork featuring cartoon aliens stacking blocks, accompanied by a blue manual and two 5.25-inch floppy disks labeled 'Kengi'. Now considered abandonware, it is available for emulation and browser play. The game emphasizes strategic placement and board control in a lighthearted, party-game style[1][2][5][6].
