Description: This game was listed under "U.S. Game Releases" in the sixth edition of the DP Guide, but this game has not been seen complete. The "Backgammon" part disappeared in ads after 1979 and a prototype turned up in 1985 at Don Gladden's, but it was "Checkers" only! The "Backgammon" game may never have been finished to a playable state. "Checkers", however, was sold after 1984 by Mike White, or (Don Gladden), but very few were ever made.
