Othello Derby
Othello Derby is an action arcade game released in 1995 by Sunwise. Despite sharing its name with the classic board game, this title is an action game where players compete in a racing or derby-style competition. Designed for two players, it supports head-to-head gameplay, making it a competitive experience for pairs at the arcade cabinet. Players control their characters or vehicles through the game's stages, competing directly against an opponent. The two-player simultaneous mode is a central feature, encouraging direct competition. As a 1995 Sunwise arcade release, it represents the developer's entry into competitive action gaming, offering fast-paced gameplay suited to the arcade environment where quick, engaging sessions were essential.
