Flashpoint is a Tetris variant. The various shapes of the falling blocks and their rotation are identical to the prototype. What makes the game different from a standard Tetris clone is its objective. Each stage already contains a pattern of blocks, usually arranged as symbols, characters, or other images. Among these blocks are several bombs. The goal is to make these bombs detonate by clearing out the rows they are in. Once all the bombs have been detonated, the stage "explodes", and the player advances to the next one.
Pieces is a new take on Jigsaw puzzles by mixing it with Tetris. Players take pieces of a jigsaw and fit them into the proper outlines on the puzzle to form a picture. Players can compete in the Jigsaw Mode which allows up to five friends to compete against each other, by taking turns, in a race against time depending upon the difficulty setting (four total). Players can also compete against the computer, complete with power-ups that can help the player such as "Sweeper" which takes away half of their opponents completed puzzle. There are eight different categories of puzzles to choose from ranging from sports themes to global locations, each with eight puzzles ranging 36 to 60 pieces in size.
Much more than the return of the ghost-chompin' legend, PAC-PANIC is a think-fast challenge and a puzzle game, too. As the blocks, you gotta think quick and move quicker, to line 'em up and make 'em vanish.
Text Tiles is a fast-paced word spelling strategy game. Use the given letters to spell words horizontally or vertically. The longer the words, the more points you get. Spell two or more words at the same time for an extra bonus! The clock is always ticking, so use your time wisely. If you don’t place a letter quick enough it will turn into a block. Then you’ll have to work around it!

Gameplay of both versions is identical: you are the main character (Moses or Joshua, respectively) and you must collect all the bags with M on them (Joshua: coins with $ on them) scattered throughout each maze. A and C shoot; you can hold them down for rapidfire. Shooting destroys blockades and enemies. Once all the M bags are gathered, find the
