There were later strong 4K and 16k engines from Kaare Danielsen.
Nevertheless programmers tried AI and B Strategy ideas in those early years.

David Broughton, Thomas Nitsche.

I don't care about strength.
Fairy Max is valuable for it's design.

Yes.
I was referring to
„ Video Chess from 1978 for the Atari VCS“

On a tangent, it's a shame the Japanese Chu-Shogi players never invented a mnemonic pieceset like HGM's.
Maybe it would have never died out.
