Shareware, all Ataris

Thanks to Matthew Bacon and Cadenza Software we have the answer to playing Minesweeper on a PC - we have electronic noughts & crosses! I suppose it does save paper and the game is nicely GEMmed up and multitasking compatible but I can't help feeling underwhelmed - maybe it's just me and my well known reluctance to engage in what other people describe as fun?
You can play tictactoe against a friend or the computer. Was it just me or didn't we all learn how to win or stalemate every game as kids? There's also a nice ST-Guide hypertext to teach you how to play in case you need it. Given the computer is perfectly capable of stalemating or winning every game Matthew has programmed it to let the human win occasionally! I don't know what's worse, playing the game in the first place, playing someone else, or playing against a computer which lets you win sometimes!
On the other hand registration is completely free and offers worthwhile benefits:
** BL here **
* Five consecutive game limit removed.
* Desktop accessory version.
* The latest versions of all the Cadenza Software (including HBASIC source code for many applications).
* Because Matthew will be better placed to know which software to develop and update which benefits us all.
* Because you'll feel a warm glow inside - although this isn't scientifically proven yet!
* Why not?
