Tic Tac Drop is a puzzle video game developed by [[]] and published by Microsoft in the Microsoft Entertainment Pack 4 for Windows 3 in 1992. The game is a rendition of Connect Four but with several additional features like the ability to customize the size and shape of the playfield as well as the length of line needed to win.

Personal
Although I didn't have this game growing up, some of my friends did. However, since it's little more than Connect Four, we rarely played it. As an adult trying to reacquaint myself with the games of Windows 3, I replayed the game in detail. I was able to beat the AI on Advanced difficuly, CPU goes first, for all default-sized layouts, with a line length of 4 on 2020-07-28.
Status
I do not own this game, but I have beaten the default layouts.
