Link-Four

About this game

Link-Four is a PC adaptation of the Connect Four board game where players take turns dropping colored discs into a grid, attempting to get four of their own color in a row horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Its from 1986 so its presented in CGA color, and offers the ability to play against a second player or a CPU opponent. Thats pretty much it.Link-Four is a DOS-based strategy and puzzle game inspired by the classic Connect Four board game. Developed in the 1990s, it challenges players to strategically place tokens on a grid to form a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line of four pieces before their opponent does. Gameplay Objective: The goal is to connect four of your pieces in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) on a 7x6 grid. Game Modes: Single Player: Compete against an AI opponent with varying difficulty levels. Multiplayer: Play against a friend in a turn-based manner on the same computer. How to Play: Players take turns dropping tokens into one of the columns of the grid. The token falls to the lowest available row in the selected column. The first player to connect four tokens wins the game. If the grid fills up without a winner, the game ends in a draw. Key Features Simple Controls: Players use the keyboard (e.g., number keys or arrow keys) to select a column for dropping their token. Color-Coded Tokens: Each player is assigned a color (e.g., red and yellow), making it easy to distinguish between tokens. AI Opponent: The AI opponent provides a challenge with varying levels of difficulty, from beginner to expert. Graphics and Sound: Minimalist graphics and sound effects typical of DOS games, focusing on gameplay rather than aesthetics.
