The following are simple, fun and challenging logic games for Windows. All games have beginner and advanced playing options, detailed on-line help and more. You can even create your own game configurations. These games received excellent reviews from Ziff-Davis Interactive and other sources. This is shareware.
Linx
When playing Linx, you are presented with a rectangular field of dots. You
and your opponent
(computer) take turns making links, - that is, connecting dots with lines.
When three links form a triangle, the player keeps his turn and makes another
move. Each player has his own color. If a player's move results in forming
a triangle, it gets painted with that player's color. If more than one triangle
can be formed in one move, they all get painted. The object of the game is
to paint as much of the field's area as possible with your color.
Matrix
Matrix demonstrates principles of the matrix theory. When playing Matrix,
you are presented with two configurations of colored and gray squares - one
is a scrambled version of the other. When you click on a square, that square
and adjacent ones change: colored squares become gray and gray squares become
colored. The object of the game is to arrange squares on the right in exactly
the same order as they appear on the left, and to make it as soon as possible.
Mosaix
When playing Mosaix, you are presented with two configurations of colored
squares - one is a
scrambled version of the other. The object of the game is to arrange squares
on the right in exactly the same order as they appear on the left, and to
make it as soon as possible. In one step you exchange positions of a block
of two adjacent squares of same color and any other block.
Rubix
Rubix is a 2-D version of the famous Rubic's cube puzzle. When playing Rubix,
you are presented with two configurations of colored and gray squares - one
is a scrambled version of the other. The object of the game is to arrange
squares on the right in exactly the same order as they appear on the left,
and to make it as soon as possible. You move squares around by scrolling
rows and columns of the game board using either the mouse or arrow keys on
the keyboard.
