Hasbro also produce 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 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. The most popular games run on one or both of the two main smartphone operating systems (iOS & Android). These include on-line leagues such as 'Construct 4 ONLINE', 'Touch4' and 'Fantastic 4 in a Row' as well as one-player games such as '4 in a Row' and '4!'. In late 2011, Baytek Games, an arcade games manufacturer in Wisconsin, started producing a "real-life", giant sized, coin operated arcade version of Connect 4, which started shipping in early 2012.
