Atari, Inc for theAtari 2600 console and Atari 8-bit computers in 1980.The game is similar to the traditional game of
tic-tac-toe , but is played on four 4 × 4 grids stacked vertically on top of each other; it is basically a computerized version of the board gameQubic using traditional tic-tac-toe notation and layout. To win, a player must place four of their symbol on four squares that line up vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, on a single grid, or spaced evenly over all four grids. This creates a total of 76 possible ways to win, in comparison to eight possible ways to win on a standard 3 × 3 board. The game can be played by two players against each other, or one player can play against a built-in AI on one of eight different difficulty settings. The game uses the standard joystick controller."3-D Tic-Tac-Toe" was written by Carol Shaw, who went on to greater fame as the creator of Activision's "
River Raid ". [http://www.atariage.com/programmer_page.html?ProgrammerID=80]The game was remade for the
