Igo Shinan is a digital recreation of the classic board game Go, released exclusively in Japan for the NES by Hect in 1989. The game provides a complete simulator, allowing players to test their strategic skills against a computer opponent. Its success laid the foundation for a series of four annualized sequels on the console.
How to play
The objective in Go is to surround a larger total area of the board with your stones than the opponent. On the NES, use the D-pad (mapped to the arrow keys in your browser) to move the cursor across the grid, and press the A button (Z key) to place a stone. The B button (X key) cancels an action, while Start (Enter) is used to navigate the game’s menus.
