As the title says, this is a computer jigsaw puzzle. The program contains 2 pictures, an old steam train and St George and the Dragon. Both graphics are nicely done and can be seen for a flash during the loading, or on pressing the Help key. During play the pictures are divided up into squares and muddled up. You use the cursor keys to shuffle them into the correct sequences. Depending on the selected skill level there are more or less squares to shuffle. Our reviewers found the game amusing and difficult at first, but unable to hold the attention for long. Overall CRASH rating 47%. A game with a difference and likely to appeal to puzzlers.

This program contains two screen pictures which are broken up into squares. Only one picture may be attempted at a time. The pieces are all muddled up, and the obvious object is to recreate the picture. It's done against the clock. The two pictures consist of large graphics, one is St. George and the dragon, and the other is of an old fashioned steam engine. Althought the game is quits difficult to sort out at first, it soon becomes easy and then boring. Very good for younger children though. Overall CRASH rating 47%, machine code
