Stratego is a 1990 video game published by Accolade.
Gameplay
Stratego is a game in which a computer solitaire strategy game is a digitized version of the Stratego board game.[1]
Reception
Alan Emrich reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "Even with its disappointments, Stratego will have a home on this reviewer's hard disk. It remains an extremely challenging solitaire game of remarkable diversity and subtlety, largely thanks to Accolade's fine supplement to the rules and vicious-playing artificial opponent."[1]
Tom Malcom for .info rated the game 3 stars and said "If you're a Stratego fan, you'll have to have Accolade's version, but be prepared for some disappointment."[2]
Ian Wrigley for Amiga Format rated the game 81% and stated that "The core of the game remains the same and some of the strategic twists it throws are sweet, if costly to your side.[3]
Zzap! rated the game 76% overall and stated that "this is a contest that demands your full attention, careful planning, thorough deception and well-times boldness. Well worth a look for anyone with reasonable intelligence."[4]
Colin Campbell for Amiga Power rated the game 52% and said "I can't help feeling that the board game has just been trapped by its own design. But then Accolade should have realised this before they tried transfering it to a computer."[5]
Arnie Katz for VideoGames & Computer Entertainment game the game 9 out of 10 overall and stated that "Stratego isn't flashy. It lacks the multiple perspectives, animations and other frills of the top chess titles [...] Even without these trimmings, the computerized Stratego is an outstanding electronic board game."[6]
Jonathan Turner for Strategy Plus said that "Stratego can be recommended to inexperienced players, or those looking for a mild strategic challenge. Experts may find it too much of an easy touch."[7]
