ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

Updated on September 27th, 2023. This game was first discovered in 2019 as a cracked BASIC file and thought to be written by Jon Levy. In September 2023, the title was found in its original state on a former Atari employee disk credited to coder Timothy J. Schmidt and dated December 1979. It is not known whether this prototype was just a programming test or considered for release. Development may have been dropped immediately in favor of Carol Shaw's 3-D Tic-Tac-Toe which ended up being distributed on cartridge.
Also known as Three Dimensional Tic-Tac-Toe (title screen).
Many thanks to John Hardie for dumping this program!
