MagicGames Collection

Version
3.1
The Magic Games Collection is a set of six fun,
challenging logic games -- Lines, Balls, Tetcolor,
Logic Trainer, Combat Engineer, and Beads -- that are
well executed in a single package. The game graphics
are great and sound punctuates the game action. Select
a game from the main menu window (which displays brief
help), then play. High scores are recorded, and an
honor roll keeps track of the family experts giving
them nice funny icons.
In Lines, you try to move balls to form a line of
five, which is then removed. Each play generates three
new balls, so you have to keep ahead or the board
fills and the game is over. In Balls, you swap two
balls to create a row of three of the same color,
which is then removed. Balls fill in from the top, and
if you plan ahead you can maximize your score.
Tetcolor asks you to rotate falling blocks to line up
three or more of the same color. Move too slowly and
the game board fills up to end the game. Logic Trainer
lets you attempt to break a four-color code in six
tries. In Combat Engineer you uncover mine field with
a an unusual task to switch off the certain mines in
the corners of the game field. Finally if you prefer a
rather unhurried real time logic game the Beads
perfectly supplements Tetcolor. In Beads you rotate
colors of falling blocks to line up three or more of
the same color. The game speed is slower, though it is
not so simple as it seems at a first sight.
