Overall Rating: 8.0
  • 8Good AI implementation, it's difficult to beat at the 500MHz level. Looks good overall. Could use some larger fullscreen resolutions though, as none of the available ones are supported by Vista / my onboard Gfx card.

  • 8Good Connect-4-game. To be optimized heavily :). However, it's nice at 400x300, too. Sometimes the token-alignment is jerky. Looks and feels good and is hard to win.
