Doug Goldring has just posted about his latest escapades at the Arcade, and this month he is covering five games – one of which is an old favorite of mine. ![]()
This time, his round-up includes:
2. Galaxy Gate
3. Lines FG
4. Nebulous

Since Japan Crossword is the one I recommended to him, I’ll post some of Doug’s comments concerning it…
“The rules are fairly straightforward. You are faced with a blank grid (typically 10×10). Your job is to paint the correct squares in order to from a picture. To help you, there are clues on the outside of each row and column. The number clues tell you the groupings of the painted tiles. So, for example, if a column reads “3, 2, 3″ Then that column will have a total of eight painted squares in it. The first group will have three, then two and the last group will have three again (the numbers are always presented in the correct order). This is the perfect example of a free game which is considerably better than many of its commercial counterparts. I was extremely impressed by the quality of the graphics as well as the difficulty of the puzzles.”
