Saal for the Commodore PET. The game was later adapted for various platforms, including a notable DOS version released in 1982 by IBM. Maxit (MS-DOS)    The gameplay of Maxit revolves around an 8x8 grid, with each cell containing a numerical value, either positive or negative. Two players participate, taking turns to select numbers from the grid to accumulate points. One player is restricted to choosing numbers from the current row, while the other selects from the current column. The objective is to maximize one's score while strategically limiting the opponent's options, especially by forcing them into selecting negative values.    Maxit offers both single-player and two-player modes. In single-player mode, the game provides multiple difficulty levels, with the computer employing strategies to challenge the player. The simplicity of the rules, combined with the depth of strategic possibilities, has contributed to Maxit's enduring appeal among enthusiasts of abstract strategy games.    Over the years, Maxit has seen various adaptations and implementations, including versions for Windows and online platforms. These iterations have introduced features such as animated graphics, background themes, and adjustable difficulty settings, enhancing the user experience while preserving the core mechanics of the original game.    Despite its straightforward design, Maxit remains a compelling game that challenges players to think ahead and anticipate their opponent's moves. Its blend of simplicity and strategic depth ensures that it continues to be enjoyed by players seeking an engaging mental exercise. More details about this game can be found on MobyGames.com.

It was the most wi­de­ly-used o­pe­ra­ting sys­tem in the first half of the 1990s. MS-DOS was sup­plied with most of the IBM com­pu­ters that pur­cha­sed a li­cen­se from Mi­cro­soft. Af­ter 1995, it was pu­s­hed out by a gra­phi­cal­ly mo­re ad­van­ced sys­tem - Win­dows and its de­ve­lop­ment was ce­a­sed in 2000. At the ti­me of its grea­test fa­me, se­ve­ral thou­sand ga­mes de­sig­ned spe­ci­fi­cal­ly for com­pu­ters with this sys­tem we­re cre­a­ted. To­day, its de­ve­lop­ment is no lon­ger con­ti­nue and for e­mu­la­tion the free DOSBox e­mu­la­tor is most of­ten used.
