Forum36 is an advanced form of the popular tic-tac-toe game.
It utilizes a 6 X 6 grid in which each opponent must attempt to
match four of his/her pieces in a vertical or horizontal row to
win. If your a lonely bachelor or a latch key kid, then you can
select the single player option and match wits with the
computer. Strategy of this particular version was purposely
limited to allow a fighting chance for those under age eight.
We will try to support variable challenge levels in future
versions of Forum36. The game's control panel has many features
like bonus play, one or two player selection, game status and
win displays, and the ability to clear the game status. When
bonus play is selected, a randomly located invisible space is
present in one of the thirty six squares. During the course of
play, whoever lands on that space will get an additional turn.
To begin, you must be in low resolution before double clicking
on "FORUM36.PRG" or you will get a warning message to that fact.
When the game board appears, clicking the left mouse button once
will bring up the game's control panel. Click on "START GAME"
to begin. Forum36 fully supports mouse control.
To use Forum36 on a hard disk system, simply be sure that
all of the associated game files are located within the same
directory.
Future versions of Forum36 will be tested on computers other
than the STe so that full compatibility with the Falcon030 and
TT030 will be realized. Sampled sound effects will also be
incorporated into the game.
This game is public domain as long as this document and all
other Forum36 files remain unchanged and are included with the
file Forum36.prg. Only Advanced Image Software will reserve the
right to alter and update any and/or all of these files.
