funniest character dynamic in the world to me is when you have one guy knows hes gay but doesnt realise hes in love with his best friend and another guy who knows hes in love with his best friend but does not know hes gay

‘Klax - ‘Karen’’

[LYNX] [JAPAN] [MAGAZINE] [1990]

Wow! Lynx Klax is an absolute replica of the original coin-op, with prefect graphics and even more perfect speech! 

It’s a strange sort of arcade puzzle game in which tiles of different colours roll down the screen on a conveyor belt and you’ve got to pick them up and drop them into a bin at the bottom of the screen in an attempt to make “klaxes” - lines of three similarly-coloured tiles, either horizontally, vertically or diagonally. 

If a complete line is made, all the tiles disappear and the rest of the tiles fall downwards. If you fail to reach a set number of klaxes before the bin fills up with tiles it’s game over. The game also ends if you let three tiles drop off the edge of the conveyor belt. If you think that sounds dull, think again. The game is simple, but very, very addictive indeed. It’s got a variety of starting options, and there’s much to discover - it’s possible to score 260.000 on one drop (but we’re not telling you how)! Highly recommended - it’s the best Lynx game yet! ~Computer and Video Games, January 1991 (#110)
