Puzznic (1990, PC-Engine) - Arcade Mode [480p]
7It's raining blocks!
This is a puzzle game originally developped by Taito back in 1989 for the Arcade, but has since ported into other consoles and remade into tens of other platforms as well. This one i uploaded is the PC-Engine (Turbografx-16 in western market) version.
In the "Arcade mode", you have to move and match up blocks of the same shape and clear as many blocks as they show up on the bottom left screen. Once you have cleared them you will proceed into next "Problem" and you keep going until you run out of time eventually.
So in essense, if it's showing a block of 3 - you have to clear a group of 3 blocks. and if it's showing a "2" beside it, i means you have to clear two sets of 3s (and so on)
If you break 5 or more blocks, a bomb drops from the sky - but won't get counted towards your required clearing - Matching two bombs will clear the horizontal line that the bomb is located on - so if you match them up side by side, you clear only one line, but if you stack them on top of another, two lines are cleared.
In addition to breaking blocks and advancing to more difficult problems - you also get some time extensions when you destroy the blocks - the more blocks you break the the more time gets extended (which adds to why bombs are pretty useful in extending a huge chunk of time)
Bonus for clearing a problem: 10,000 x problem number (clearing Problem 17 = 170,000 points)
BTW: the "Normal" mode you saw briefly on the title screen is simply a more problem-solving mode: you're presented with presetup boards and you have to clear the entire screen of the blocks - sounds easy, but once you get into more difficult levels you'll be save state scumming since timing will be MASSIVE.
