4PLAY 5.0 is the most recent release of the 4PLAY series which began in 1993. 4PLAY was originally written for MS Windows 3.1. Shortly after it's initial release a MS DOS version was written using Visual Basic for MS DOS, version 1.0.

   Originally 4PLAY was distributed on Bulletin Board Systems such as Wildcat. The game was too large to upload at 1200 baud so the install set was mailed to the BBS SYSOPs for local users to download.

   4PLAY 5.0 represents the final incarnation of the original concept, not that this will be the last version. But this version represents what I had hoped to achieve with the older versions but was unable to because of time and technical limitations.

  I have many ideas for new features to add to 5.0 in the next few months, such as the ability to play across the internet. So that a couple could play remotely with other player(s). With a video link between the two systems.
