Puzznic
Manufacturer: Taito, 1989
Description:
The aim is to move symbol-bearing blocks onto other blocks with
identical symbols in order to eliminate them. Blocks can only be
moved left or right, or dropped downwards.
The order in which the blocks are eliminated requires careful
planning, as it's sometimes necessary to destroy three blocks at a
time, or use blocks as bridges for other blocks. Some puzzle screens
have moving background blocks that act as elevators, making careful
timing essential.
Should the player make a mistake and destroy or move the wrong
blocks, each puzzle screen allows for a set number of 'retries'.
When you retry, this resets all tiles to their original positions.
The game consists of eight levels, with each level consisting of
four separate puzzle screens. Once a level has been completed,
players can chose which level to tackle next. This translates into
36 separate puzzle screens to be completed in any one game, chosen
from a total of 144 puzzle screens, giving the game plenty of replay
value.
