Four in a Cube - Direct 3D

A new freeware-puzzle-game by DIGITAL Nightmares.

You know "Four in a Row"? Then you may like to play it in three dimensions!

You can play a game against your computer or against another human player. The computer is not a very good player, but he is fast! The game-mode can be chosen in the title-menu of the game with the cursorkeys.
Two human players can play with two networked computers, too.

Control:

move - Cursorkeys
rotate level - CTRL + Cursor/PgUp/PgDown
zoom/move level - SHIFT + Cursor/PgUp/PgDown
reset level-view: C

help during the game: F1
With ALT-TAB you can deactivate the game and continue later at the same position.

game options: F2
Please try changing an option und see how the game-graphics react.
Please note: the nicer the graphics the slower the game! If you want the fastest graphics please use a 3D-accelerator-hardware.

Technical Requirements:

The game needs Windows 95 or 98 and DirectX 5 or better. This game can be used in two modi: 3D-hardware-accelerated and with software-3D. One needs 3D-hardware (4MB or more). The software-mode is running without 3D-hardware but needs much more CPU-Power for the same speed and it does not look that nice. Especcially for computers without 3D-hardware and without low resolutions available there is the zoom-mode (for example for notebooks).

In the first dialogue of the game the graphics-accelerator (and the used Mode) and the resolution of the game can be chosen. Please note: A higher resolution needs a faster computer and a better display-adapter (with more memory).
Improved 32bit-rendering is only available with capable (3D-)display-adapters.

The more memory your display-adapter has, the faster the game!
