In this game there is a perspective drawing of four square boards or planes displayed on the screen, which is Intended to create a 3-D effect. Each board is a 4 x 4 grid.

TIPS AND TRICKS

To beat the computer or another player, you must place two three-in-a-rows so that the opponent cannot block both of them. Occasionally, you may win when an opponent fails to see that you have three-in-a-row, but that method involves more luck than strategy.

At higher skill levels, placing three-in-a-row becomes difficult. One of the secrets to playing winning TIC-TAC-TOE is to play in the 16 strong squares at the beginning of a game. The 16 strong squares are the eight outside corner squares, and the eight inside center square.
