Description

Queen is an early BASIC puzzle game based on chess rules. The player can move a queen on a chess board, but the queen can only move left, down and left and down diagonally. The player alternates turns with the computer alternate turns for moving the queen. The player to put it in the bottom left corner of board wins the game.

Editor note

There is no certainty that the game was created by Mr. Christopher Hall; at least in ON-LINE consultable sources, nor in David Ahl's magazines on BASIC.

For the previous reason, I deleted the creator information, however for those who want to investigate further, it was previously said that it was "A. Christopher Hall", the creator.

As in other BASIC games, which I previously edited, I consulted the original published magazines, whose sources I indicated in the respective entries, and any mention of QUEEN indicated that it is of an unknown author.
