Same here - it was evidently cleanly written, without any direct hardware
access, and is from the era when 320x200x256 was _the_ resolution.

Here's the first (G/5) game I played against it - impressive stuff. From my
memory of and scores from games against programs in 1991 Sargon (even allowing
for hardware differences) must have been _well_ ahead of almost anything,
although this is the first time I've played it. According to the information
window it was calculating 15 ply ahead at the end ... !
