Yahtzee (Logicom)

History

Another of the earlier single-player Logicom titles, Yahtzee was one of two Yahtzee games for The Major BBS (the other was from Tessier Technologies). Yahtzee eventually featured nice ANSI dice, and was sold for a reasonable price.

Yahtzee was sold to Soft Arts in 1997.

A top 10 list lets players compete for high scores.

Gameplay

Like most games from the 1987-1990 time frame, Yahtzee was a text-based game which used a command line and game prompts to effect gameplay.

UNIX Version

Yahtzee, like Guess What, was one of two modules included with The Major BBS 6.25 for UNIX.
