I have AmiGo 1.00, by Todd R. Johnson ( tj@cis.ohio-state.edu ).
I DL'ed it from a local BBS only a few days ago, and I hadn't any
chance to play against it yet.

According to the readme file, this 'Go' is based on a Go game written in
Perq Pascal by Stoney Ballard which was posted to Usenet.

The Amiga port is intuitionized, includes source code for Lattice 5.02 .
AmiGo 1.00 is dated 8/8/89 .
