==Other versions== {{more citations needed|section|date=June 2019}} Hasbro also produces various sizes of Giant Connect Four, suitable for outdoor use. The largest is built from weather-resistant wood, and measures 120 cm in both width and height. Connect Four was released for the [[Microvision]] video game console in 1979, developed by Robert Hoffberg. It was also released for the [[TI-99/4A#99/4|Texas Instruments 99/4]] computer the same year. With the proliferation of mobile devices, Connect Four has regained popularity as a game that can be played quickly and against another person over an [[Internet]] connection. In 2007, Milton Bradley published Connect Four Stackers. Instead of the usual grid, the game features a board to place colored discs on. Just like standard Connect Four, the object of the game is to try get four in a row of a specific color of discs.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hasbro.com/common/documents/dad2614d1c4311ddbd0b0800200c9a66/1EEF8C3819B9F369101244129F2A84EB.pdf | title=Connect 4 Stackers |publisher=Hasbro Inc | year=2006}}</ref> In 2008, another board variation Hasbro published as a physical game is [[Connect 4x4]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hasbro.com/common/documents/dad2614d1c4311ddbd0b0800200c9a66/4B5F7AAD5056900B1006CFD8A247EBDC.pdf | title=Connect 4x4 |publisher=Hasbro Inc | year=2008}}</ref> This game features a two-layer vertical grid with colored discs for four players, plus blocking discs. The object of the game is also to get four in a row for a specific color of discs. In 2013, [[Bay Tek Entertainment|Bay Tek Games]] released a Connect Four [[redemption game|ticket redemption arcade game]] under license from Hasbro. There are standard and deluxe versions of the game. Two players move and drop the checkers using buttons. If only one player is playing, the player plays against the computer. Both the player that wins and the player that loses get tickets. The player that wins gets to play a bonus round where a checker is moving and the player needs to press the button at the right time to get the ticket jackpot. In 2015, Winning Moves published Connect Four Twist & Turn. This game variant features a game tower instead of the flat game grid. The tower has five rings that twist independently. Gameplay is similar to standard Connect Four where players try to get four in a row of their own colored discs. However, with Twist & Turn, players have the choice to twist a ring after they have played a piece. It adds a subtle layer of strategy to the gameplay.{{According to whom|date=August 2021}} In 2018, Bay Tek Games released their second Connect Four arcade game, Connect 4 Hoops. Players throw basketballs into basketball hoops, and they show up as checkers on the video screen. The game can be played by two players, or by one player against the computer. Both the player that wins and the player that loses get tickets. In 2018, Hasbro released Connect 4 Shots. This version requires the players to bounce coloured balls into the grid until one player achieves four in a row.
