A rather surprising release from a company which seems to specialise in fast action games. This has no action at all, being a sliding block puzzle program.

You must remember the sort of thing - you have a picture surrounded by a frame and one part is empty so that you can rearrange the picture and then try to reform it again.

This program contains six pictures, each in 15 pieces and they are of a reasonably high graphic standard. You move them about using cursor keys (spelled "curser" in the instructions!) and press ENTER to make the move.

Picture Puzzles

You are shown the initial puzzle and then you observe the scrambling process. You can even create your own pictures if you so desire and have the time to spend.

What I still find hard to accept is that anyone will want to pay this amount of money for something which, in its original form, cost pennies. If it's your thing then it will probably satisfy you.

It certainly does all its claims - but it bores me silly.
