Sargon 4 is a 1988 chess video game published by Spinnaker Software. It is part of the Sargon series and a sequel to Sargon III.
Gameplay
Sargon 4 is a game in which 107 classic chess games taken from 1851 to 1980 are available to be replayed.[3]
Reception
Roy Wagner reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "Sargon 4 has a long standing reputation, but that alone will not give you everything that's wanted in a program. This is not to say that Sargon 4 is not a good purchase. It is an outstanding chess playing partner, but lacks the features of the competition."[3] Atari ST magazine STart reviewed the Macintosh version and said "Sargon IV may be the best chess game you can run on an ST–but only if you use a Mac emulator like Magic Sac or Spectre 128."[2]
