Review:

Similar in style to the universally popular Tetris, this is very colourful and, eventually, fast moving, thanks to the small play area. There are also quite a few options that can be set up and presentation is top notch.

Although there are only five lanes for pieces to drop down, there is enough room to provide for tactics and longer term strategy. It also starts off very easily for beginners, before ramping up the pressure.

As with most games from this period, the sound is the one area where it is a let down, with very simple beeps and clicks.
