   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. The program contains 107 classic chess games taken from 1851 to 1980 that are available to be replayed.
    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.' 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.'

More details about this game can be found on Wikipedia.org.

This ver­sion of Sargon 4 was de­sig­ned for per­so­nal com­pu­ters with o­pe­ra­ting sys­tem MS-DOS (Mi­cro­soft Disk O­pe­ra­ting Sys­tem), which was o­pe­ra­ting sys­tem de­ve­lo­ped by Mi­cro­soft in 1981. 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. Mo­re in­for­ma­ti­on about MS-DOS operating system can be found here.
