Krestiki-Noliki (Tic-tac-toe)

A freeware version of tic-tac-toe from an Odessa-based author, created to distribute the DIALA computer program, which, according to its creator, can conduct a dialogue with the user in Russian on any topic. To obtain a coveted copy, one had to win a game of tic-tac-toe against artificial intelligence, take a screenshot, and send it to the author's email address. No luck? No problem! "Refrigerator" provided two more ways to obtain their creation. The first was a lottery in which DIALA was regularly given away, with those who didn't win automatically advancing to the next round. All of this took place on the official website, which is still operational in 2021 (!)—there's even a list of participants with email addresses.

The second way was to participate in a cat photo contest run by thirteen-year-old Dana on her personal blog (!), which is also still operational in 2021. Overall, this "Tic Tac Toe" game lets you immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the old internet. It's just a shame that the banner with the magnificent caption "Refrigerator. Love Lyrics" leads to a dead page.
