Junction

Junction

A puzzle game for the Genesis similar to Pipe Dream. The player has to continually shift pathways to direct a red ball around a maze without letting it fall.

Overview

Junction is a puzzle game from Micronet under license from Konami (it uses Konami's 1982 arcade game Locomotion as its base) released exclusively for the Sega Genesis and Sega Game Gear platforms.

The goal of the game is to direct a red ball around a maze of interchangeable floor tiles with different sets of grooves so that they hit every external ramp around the board. The ball travels around at its own pace, but the player can speed it up temporarily with the B button. Certain obstacles, like the pyramids, interact with the ball in different ways that the player must be careful to observe.
