4 En Raya
四子棋
4 En Raya is an arcade action game released in 1990 by IDSA, the Spanish developer known for producing coin-op titles for the domestic market. The game is based on the classic connect-four concept, where players attempt to line up four pieces in a row on a grid while blocking their opponent from doing the same. Set in an arcade cabinet format, it supports competitive play against either the CPU or another player. The controls involve selecting columns on the vertical grid to drop tokens. The game features a straightforward grid-based structure without progressive levels, focusing instead on match-based rounds. Its simplicity makes it accessible, while the competitive mechanic provides challenge through strategic blocking and placement decisions.
