This is the sequel to The Dark Convergence and takes place some time after the end of the original game.

1991
Ostensibly the shareware version of a more robust, non-quick Majik Adventure, as with their later Dragon Hunt this is a bit of a graphical roguelike, placing a fantasy adventurer smack in the middle of level 75 of a series of random and devious dungeons, filled to the gills with treasures and hostile creatures. As an earlier effort Neurosport hadn't yet extruded the perspective into three bewildering dimensions here, and so we still retain the traditional top-down view, prettied up (and range-of-view constrained) with a graphical tile set.Wolfsbane

Multiple blocks can be moved at once, but they have to be the same type. As soon as the column of at least 5 blocks of the same type gathers together, this group annihilates, freeing up space on the playfield, thus making it possible to continue the game. Drop-Drop was initially developed and published in Russia; the only known names attached to the project are programmers Vladimir Ryshov and Grigory Sragovich. The game was included in the Moscow Nights game compilation, which released in (at the very least) the United Kingdom and Germany. Data East learned of Moscow Knights and obtained a license f
