+6. VIP REVERSI
+Reversi is a game over 100 years old, which has become popular recently under the
+name Othello. The game is played on a 8x8 square, using two kinds of markers.
+In VIP Reversi one player has the open markers and the other player the solid
+markers. The score for either player at any time is the total number of his markers
+on the square.
+
+How to play VIP Reversi
+
+1. Load the CHIP-8 interpretor at 0000-01FF
+ and the game starting at 0200.
+
+2. Turn RUN switch on.
+
+3. The 8x8 square will be formed and the starting marker configuration shown, having
+ two of each kind of marker in the center four locations of the square. The starting
+ score for each player is shown as 02 above a line of his markers.
+
+4. Your VIP indicates the player's turn by blinking that player's score and also blinking
+ a cursor dot in the 8x8 square. A player moves the blinking cursor dot in the 8x8
+ square by pressing the direction keys 1-4 and 6-9 as shown. (VIPG1-6.JPG)
+
+5. When the cursor-dot is properly located, the player presses key 5 to place his marker
+ on the square. You will find that your VIP will not allow you to make a non-valid
+ play. The only placements allowed are onces for which at least one of the other
+ player's markers is surrounded between an existing marker of your own and your new
+ marker being placed. All these markers must be in consecutive positions on the
+ square and can be in any horizontal, vertical or diagonal direction. Once a new
+ marker has been placed, your VIP will change all such surrounded markers of the
+ other player to your kind and change the scores.
+
+6. Sometimes it may not be possible for a player to make a valid move. If this happens
+ he must forfeit his move by pressing the "F" key! The game ends when neither player
+ can play or when the 8x8 square is completely filled with markers. The goal is to
+ end the game with the highest score. Do not be discouraged if during the game you
+ seem to be losing because this is a game with dramatic reversals! Develop a winning
+ strategem and become a champion!!
