About this game

3-D Noughts & Crosses expands the familiar game to four stacked 4-by-4 planes. You and the computer take turns placing marks, trying to connect four in a row through the three-dimensional grid.

Type your name at the opening prompt and press Enter. Move the grid marker with the cursor keys and press Enter to place a mark. Home and End move to the first and last available positions in the current plane; Page Up and Page Down move between planes. Occupied squares are skipped.

When it is your turn, H asks the computer for a suggested move. Check lines that cross several planes as well as rows within a single plane: a move that looks harmless on one board can complete a line through the others. Escape abandons the game.

Quick tips

Check lines across different planes before placing a mark.

Use H for a suggestion when you cannot spot the next threat.
