Lumiappaday #266: Connect 4 demoed on the Nokia Lumia 900

You might have played Connect 4 as a kid and it might just be me who hasn’t grown up but I still find it a lot of fun. In this free game, you can play against the phone or play against real people online. There’s even a chat function as well as a view of the global leaderboards.

There are so many versions available at marketplace, I actually wasn’t sure which one it was. The developer is SilverSprings and we’ll definitely be checking out more of their apps.

Here’s a demo on the Nokia N97: http://mynokiablog.com/2009/07/30/free-game-connect4-for-the-nokia-n97-5800-samsung-i8910-and-other-s60-5th-edition/

Wow, it seems offscreen who made the N97 version also have one for Lumia.
