Nihon Kiin's 9x9 Go Game Machine

Windows program, works brilliantly well on Unbuntu Linux, running out-of-the-box under Wine, unlike Many Faces of Go version 12 or igowin, which have long-standing cosmetic issues with Wine. Go Game Machine is a fairly strong 9x9 player, too, allegedly for kids, definitely for any beginner at Go.


This Japanese game is on eBay, but they require PayPal, and it's an auction to boot. Interesting Hikaru no Go manga spinoff. The buttons on the opening screen are:

  • campaign mode
    キャンペーンモド

  • free play mode
    フリー対局モド

  • survival mode
    サバイバルモド

  • management mode
    マネージメントモド

There are other iterations, including Hikaru no Go for GBA, and a third game for Gameboy. There is also a useful FAQ at GameFAQs.
