About

TicRemote 1.0 is a small Macintosh shareware release by Eelco van Beek that turns tic-tac-toe into a two-player network game played over the Internet. The author pitched it as the first entry in a planned series of remote-play board games, distributed through Info-Mac in the mid-1990s.Tic-tac-toe over the InternetThe hook, per the author's own one-line summary, is simple: "Play Tic-tac-toe over the Internet!" Two Macs connect across the network and trade moves on a shared 3x3 board rather than passing the keyboard.A planned family of gamesThe release notes hint at "lots of other games in the future" using the same remote-play scaffolding, suggesting TicRemote was as much a proof of concept for the network layer as a finished product.DistributionVersion 1.0 was posted to Info-Mac under the brd (board games) category with the author's email and a personal homepage on knoware.nl as the points of contact.
