Get Four (Argus Specialist Publications)

A game created by Peter Howe and published in Home Computing Weekly #051 (28.02.1984). This is a version of the popular children's game transferred from paper to the Commodore 64.

The screen is a grid of 49 squares in seven rows of seven. Each vertical row is assigned a letter from A to G. You press the key for the row you want and a sprite crosses the top of the screen to the selected row and then down to the square higher than previously selected. A square is then printed and the sprite disappears. The object of the game is to get a row of four squares horizontally, vertically or diagonally, while preventing your opponent from doing the same.
