Top Puzzle Game?

EDIT- I really feel Ryukyu is the unsung hero here- I'm the only one who voted for it?

To be quite honest-- I've never even heard of that game. I take it it's worth picking up?

Is Implode not a falling brick where the bricks go upward instead of down?  Flip your screen over- it's a falling brick.  Voila.

I guess when I hear "falling brick"  I think of ones where you maneuver the pieces and put them where you want.  To me implode is just a match 3 game where the screen fills up.  if it were filling down, it would still be a match 3.  You dont strategically rotate and shove pieces wherever you want.



and, Ryukyu is worth picking up if you like the idea of Columns and Poker in one game.

Ryukyu is absolutely worth picking up- it's very relaxing- not something you'd want to throw against a wall- plus it's a Face game which is always a plus (I love Time Cruise II, Hani on the Road and Metal Stoker- and actually had a lot of fun beating Alice in Wonderdream)- unless the game is Cross Wiber- which is hideous.  Most Face games are at the least very original.  I also feel that matching up poker hands with the "bricks" adds an interesting element to what can be a very monotonous genre-
I guess you'd have to like falling bricks and poker to really like it though

Falling brick just means falling brick.  Tetris is a falling brick- just one where you interlock the pieces.  Other games like tetris where you would interlock the shapes would be considered something like "Tetris-style Falling Brick"... but really anyway matching colors and/or card hands etc. are also variations of "interlocking" the pieces.  You want this color one next to this color one- you want this shape next to this shape- same thing really.

Yeah, but you don't have control over where the colors end up really with Implode.  They randomly fill up.  You can strategically try to fanagle the color-removals to do it, but it just seems like a totally different style of game than all the others.  You move a cursor and click on colors and they vanish.

Actually doesn't sound like all that much fun- though I've still yet to play my copy

After reading this thread, I attempted to play Panic Bomber last night on my region modded Duo-RX and got what appeared to be an error message. Amidst all the Kanji was the word "RAM". I later tried it in my US Duo and it played fine. Does anyone know what that message means or why I couldn't play it on my region modded system?

Ummm.... since it mentions RAM, it just might be a RAM related error. 

I'll bet that your RAM is full or corrupt.  Do you have a Tennokoe Bank card?

[hoobs88]

I transferred all of my save files from the Duo-RX to a Tennokoe Bank card about a year ago.

So your RAM is empty, eh?  Try formatting it and see if the message goes away.

Its ok. You have to like match 3 games though.   I'm not a fan of them very much so I get bored of it quick.

I'm more of a fan of ones where you maneuver the pieces and rotate them, but I like Bust-a-Move games more.
