Not more puzzle games! I hear you cry! Oh yes, but these ones are really good - (honest!).

Triltex is the first mouse compatible game where you must match up tiles by colour and design, thus revealing tiles below them. Special tiles can also be matched up which have differing effects. These include BOMBS (destroying surrounding tiles), FLIPPERS (which once matched, swop positions), TELEPORTERS (teleport tiles to other teleporters) and TWIRLERS (rotate tiles).

If you complete a level within a set time period, you gain extra lives and the overall feel of the game is of a 20th century Mah Jong.


GARTH:
Similar to Mah Jong the game has novel elements that unfortunately do not make use of the SAM's superior graphics. The bombs don't even blow up! A wasted opportunity!

Summary: A good game that relies heavily upon the excellent gameplay when using a mouse. No mouse - no way!
