I really like this game but I would like to suggest that there be a third option in the Game tab under “Computer moves”…

Currently the option are “first (Computer vs Human)” and “second (Human vs Computer)”

There really ought to be a third option that’s random… that is, there will be a 50% chance of human first or computer first. That might make it more fun for those who like to try both ways but don’t like having to change the order often.

Agh- sorry for the last comment. Windows Explorer doesn’t run properly on my computer, so I didn’t see the readme file. Thanks again ^^

is GOTD even checking the wrapped package they get from giveaway authors? like recguard that burned sky tried to put in my startup registry. if you’re not running registry checkers or startup monitors you just might be getting more than a free game. after two in a row, i’m staying away from alive games.

My only gripe with this software is that it also puts 2 other, unwanted shortcuts on your desktop.

Sometimes it is fun to watch 2 CPU’s go head to head.

At first glance I thought, hey, noughts and crosses, something I’ve not played since school days, to while the hours away while in boring lessons; such a simple and uninspiring game. How on earth could you make a computer based game out of such a game. Well I was wrong……… Thanks Swan for the review. I nearly gave this one a pas, although I was still intending to do a quick review. I wasn’t able to earlier because I was having a wheelchair assessment today, so didn’t get chance to check this out earlier. I’m glad as it would have taken me ages to work through the options menu, lol. It’s a pity it doesn’t have full screen mode, or at least the ability to expand the playing field a little, especially for those with sight impairments; but then the mini map would be compromised, not that I see much use for it.

This is a far more complex game that I first realized, with a very large grid to play from. The ability to play either the computer or another human should make this a great game for those on long night shifts where there is nothing much to do apart from read a book, or to perhaps get your partner playing along side you instead of being a solitary game player.

I’ll be keeping it, simply because it’s different to the hundreds of games I’ve already bought or received free over the past decade or so. Yeah, I still occasionally play old DOS games and all those freebies you used to get on a floppy disc years ago

Nice little gem Alive Games, thank you for the opportunity to try this out for an extended period of time. And as usual to the GGAotD team for providing this win win scenario for the developer/Distributor and the consumer.

PS Pamela, check back to the comments section of 2 days ago Ronin Solitaire May 7th comment #52 for my email. Then you’ll have that CSI game I promised.
