They are easy to play, but to master them is another story. You'll find they are so challenging and addictive your brain will beg for more. The Puzzle Collection includes a full spectrum of multi-level quick fixers and strategic sticklers. Just see if you can stop after one level!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeedless to say, block stacking is a difficult game to match - even if you're Alexey Pajitnov, block stacking original designer. Not that he hasn't tried: Pajitnov has designed or endorsed dozens of games subsequent to block stacking, but none of them have even come close to matching the appeal or success of that seminal work. And now he's at it again. Following the end of an association with MicroProse, Pajitnov has returned to the scene via Microsoft's Puzzle Collection. The disc includes ten all-new puzzle games, some of which were designed by Pajitnov, although it's never made clear exactly which ones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRat Poker, which challenges you to create \"hands\" of rats by catching them using manually activated traps, is highly original and entertaining. Another bright spot is Lineup, a turn-based game that requires you to manipulate variously shaped objects in order to create vertical or horizontal lines (imagine block stacking in quicksand, and you've got the idea). Mixed Genetics, which asks you to breed triplet sets of mutant creatures in order to create a pure breed, plays better than it sounds, and is quite fun once you get the hang of it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe remaining seven games: Spring Weekend, Finty Fush, Charmer, Jewel Chase, Fringer, Color Collision, and Muddled Casino\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther programs included on this same disc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor Windows (32-bit Systems) [*Please review compatibility\/platform sections in 'What You Get']\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Microsoft","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":49886098620694,"sku":"77907","price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/200792917184425.jpg?v=1772172930","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/microsoft-entertainment-pack-puzzle-collection-he-edition","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
