I sure remeber it!

I thought EPYX or MUSE was the one publishing it, but a few months (years?) ago
SOFTDISK published it again! (I seem to remember).

The thing I liked best about it was the tune played when you couldn't see
your opponent. 'Fur Elise' and other classics (Turkey in the Straw?)

Nope, I didn't think it was converted to the PC, but now you mention
it, I seem to remember that one magazine i read for the Atari or PC had
a story about it and a game BASED on it's principles...

Well, that's about it. Have fun!
