'''Reversi''' is an old board game that dates back to the late 19th century. In the 1970s, it made a resurgence under the new name of Othello, thanks to the Japanese company Tsukada Original (see [[Othello (Tsukuda Original)]].) The license to publish the board game in the United States was granted to Mattel, who advertised the game as taking "A minute to learn, a lifetime to master."

In the 1970s, it made a resurgence under the new name of Othello, thanks to the Japanese company Tsukada Original (see [[Othello (Tsukuda Original)]].) The license to publish the board game in the United States was granted to Mattel, who advertised the game as taking "A minute to learn, a lifetime to master." When Mattel was in the process of developing games for the [[Intellivision]] system, they decided to publish Othello for it. However, rival company [[Atari]] licensed the name [[Othello]] for their own game system, the [[Atari 2600]], so Mattel switched to the classic name of the game, which had never been trademarked. So Reversi (TM Mattel) became the name of the cartridge. | ||
