Get Back to Basics With Tic Tac Toe

True, true, it might be an old game that has been around longer than your great grandma, but Tic Tac Toe is indeed a classic game that will never get boring, especially if you get to play it on line using super cool flash software like I found recently. In this version you are able to choose the Easy or Hard mode (I always start with Easy, given the option) and you are playing against the computer. You are the Cross. I actually won the first time I played so that cheered me up and then after a ton of sessions which had me winning or a tie between me and the computer (but usually me winning) I felt confident enough to progress to the Hard mode.

The first time I tried the Hard level it was a tie, so that gave me confidence too. the second and third time I tried, I won, so I was really raking in the confidence but then the computer beat me a few times and then it seemed to be random and quite equal; sometimes I would win; other times the computer and then there would be ties. But each time I played Tic Tac Toe I enjoyed the game and especially the speed in which it could be played thanks to the cool flash software used.

While Tic Tac Toe is nothing really special playing through flash software, what I do like a lot is how fast the game moves. As soon as you have selected your spot for your Cross, the computer is right there behind you (no thinking required, unlike when you play off line with a person, the game can be delayed for ages as you have to wait for their brain to work!).
