About

Flipper is a freeware strategy board game for one or two players by Joe Strout, released in January 1993 (version 1.2). Players click tiles to cycle through colors or patterns, working to make the whole board match while unmanaged tiles drift on their own. The Macintosh Garden listing credits C.K. Haun and publishers RavenWare and Pointware for a related release.How it playsThe rules echo arcade and home-console color-flipping puzzlers. Two human players can face off, or a single player can take on one of two AI difficulty levels - both of which, the author notes, play strongly enough to beat him.Configurable boardFlipper offers a resizable playfield ranging from 3 to 11 squares in each dimension, sized independently, plus an option to scatter random barriers across the grid. That makes for very short tactical puzzles or sprawling strategic matches depending on taste.Display modesOn color Macs the tiles cycle through colors; on monochrome displays they cycle through patterns instead, preserving readability on the original Plus and SE-class hardware of the era.DistributionPosted to Info-Mac in 1993 by Joe Strout while at Miami University, Oxford OH. Distributed as freeware.
