Updated on December 13th, 2022. Replaced cracked binary executable with repaired tape dump courtesy of Kay Savetz / AtariGrub (use C: acceleration patch on emulators as title appears to work erratically).
Load with OS-A.
Missing original tape image!

Muffy St. Bernard — 20 Jun 2010
Enter moves in the format " ". To see the board numbers, press N. Other commands: "R" Resign, "I" I.Q. (change difficulty), "P" Force the computer to move a piece, "S" Save, "G" Get (?) "X" Exchange (flips the board), "C" Clear (removes all pieces from the board), "M" Modify (at each prompt, enter all the numbers you want to apply it to, specified by spaces). Seems awfully full-featured for a Checkers program, but if you're a Checkers fan then I guess it makes sense!
