About this game

Igo: Kyuu Roban Taikyoku is a board game adaptation of Go for the Family Computer, developed and published by Bullet-Proof Software.

To support play on the Famicom, the traditional 19×19 Go board is reduced to a 9×9 grid, allowing for a smoother single-player experience. A lesson mode introduces the rules and strategy of Go with guidance from appearing ninjas.
