"AI Shogi" for the Panasonic 3DO is a digital adaptation of the classic Japanese board game shogi, often referred to as Japanese chess. Released exclusively in Japan, this title allows players to engage in shogi battles against varying levels of artificial intelligence or against another player, providing a strategic depth that can challenge beginners and seasoned players alike. The game features a standard shogi board setup and aims to capture the tactical essence of the traditional game, adapted into a digital format. With clear graphics and straightforward controls, "AI Shogi" offers an accessible yet deeply strategic experience.
Developed by I4 and released in the mid-1990s, "AI Shogi" capitalizes on the advanced hardware capabilities of the 3DO system to provide smoother gameplay and more intelligent AI than was typical of earlier console shogi games. Notably, the game includes several difficulty settings, which help in scaling the challenge to the player's ability, making it a suitable learning tool for novices, as well as a rigorous platform for more advanced players seeking to refine their shogi skills. Although it didn't reach a large audience outside Japan, it remains a respected title among shogi enthusiasts and retro game collectors, particularly valued for its role in bridging traditional board games with video game technology.
