Improve Strategy With Connect 4

I had always been a fan of puzzle games - even before they came on line - so when I found my old favorite Connect 4 on the computer, well I was intrigued. I wasn't sure if I would like the game on the computer as much as I liked it on the table as it were, but the Connect 4 that I found, I really did enjoy a ton. In fact, I play it the whole time now. I'm always trying to improve my score and beat the computer.

Connect 4 from the games directory is pretty much the same as Connect 4 with the plastic grid you use at home. There are two players (you can play against the computer or a real live person on line). You start off with a blank screen (ready to be filled up). There is a cursor at the top of your grid. You have to place the cursor where you want to drop the colored ball (I'm usually blue and the computer - which is what I normally play against, is orange). I place a ball somewhere and immediately afterwards, the computer puts his ball down. I have to admit that the computer is VERY good, because I remember when I used to play against my brother (granted he was 2 years my junior) and I would ALWAYS win! But now - especially since the computer makes its moves so quickly so I feel pressurized to do the same), I have a hard time winning! But that is what makes the game so cool I guess. And probably why I keep going back to play it.

It's a lot of fun Connect 4 - give it a try sometime!
