Line Up

Line Up! is a 1993 Macintosh take on Connect Four by Berrie Kremers. Players drop colored cubes from the top of a grid and try to line up four of the same color horizontally, vertically, or diagonally before their opponent does, in either single-player or two-player mode.

Gameplay

Each turn you choose a column; the cube falls to the lowest empty slot. The first player to assemble four in a row wins. Simple to learn, with the usual deep tactical wrinkles around forks and threats.

Modes

You can play against the computer or pass-and-play against another human at the same Mac, making it suitable for both solo practice and quick head-to-head matches.

Compatibility

Line Up! targets 68k Macintosh systems and is compatible with System 6.x through System 7.6, placing it squarely in the early-1990s shareware era.
