Description
Tic-Tac-Toe is a digital version of the classic pen and paper game. The player and computer take turns putting their marks on the grid. This Altair 8800 implementation doesn't use a screen and instead displays all information on the memory LED lights and takes input directly from the switches. The computer is always first and plays a perfect game, so never loses.
