[3D-Tic-Tac-Toe (Atari VCS, 1980)]

I've been following you forever but I think this is my first time posting. Great to see you back here after your sabbatical. Keep up the great work!

 

I wanted to chime in here and say this has always been one of my favorite games. When I was a kid, I was obsessed with this game and was always trading cartridges with another kid who had it. You mentioned that there was a steep learning curve, but I never felt there was--when I read the instructions just before I started playing, I understood the rules instantly just from looking at the examples in the booklet. I'd even play it on notebook paper when the cartridge wasn't in my possession.

 

To this day I still think it's one of the coolest games ever. I remember reading VGC's review of it and just couldn't believe it. I would give it a solid 'A'! I even use it in class occasionally; I'll draw the grids on the board and my students have a great time trying to use strategies and beat each other (they learned just as quickly as I did).

 

Just thought you'd like to know that this game does indeed have its fans, even if it's only me.
