Black Box

Black Box is played on a two-dimensional grid. The object of the game is to discover the location of objects (atoms) hidden in the grid with the minimum number of probes (rays). The atoms are hidden by a person in a two-player game. In a solitaire game, they are either hidden by a computer or they are pre-hidden; in this case, the results of various probes are resolved by looking them up in a book. The seeker designates where the ray enters the black box and the hider (or computer or book) announces the result (a Hit, Reflection, or Detour/Miss). This result is marked by the seeker, who uses these to deduce the position of the atoms in the black box.—Wikipedia

Though it seems that Black Box is far better fit to be a computer game than to be a board game, there were originally few computer implementations. The only one I came across is a BASIC program from 1982.

This changed radically with the advent of Windows 3.0, or maybe 3.1. Between 1992 and 1996, there were at least half a dozen implementations for that platform, and Peter Sarrett wrote, Black Box, with the possible exceptions of Solitaire and Yahtzee, may very well be one of the most-implemented Windows games of all time. Actually, the non-card game most implemented in Windows is probably Mastermind. Black Box was mainly a US phenomenon, Christophe Yvon's implementation is, so far, the only one from somewhere else that I've found.
