Game Concepts: 3D Tic-Tac-Toe

Unlike standard Tic-Tac-Toe, the 3D variety, played in a 4×4×4 cube, is a serious game. It is not necessarily a well-balanced game, giving the first player a huge advantage, but it is easy to lose against a well-designed AI. While it is theoretically possible to play it on paper, if you draw four 4×4 squares side by side, I rather think that it originated as a computer game. As such, the first instance I know about is 1978 in David H. Ahl’s BASIC Computer Games.
