Novag Constellation game from 1984 .......

Post by WuShock »

I've cleaned out one corner of the room , and found lots of old stuff....... This game is from a 30+ board Simul held at Wichita State University .. The computer was the version just before Super Connie , and I was looking for somebody to teach it a lesson . I asked Yassar just before the start , and he was kind enough to agree.....

27......... Rxa2 was real bad ...........

Maybe somebody could add a board ....... :)
