Magical Stones

This magnificent game is the contribution of the prolific and outstanding developer Alfonso D.C. (alias Dioniso) for the well-known MSXdev' contest, in its 2005 edition; an annual event that is already a classic in amateur game creation networks, for that great and undervalued computer that was the MSX, and of which we are always aware year after year.

Magical Stones draws from what, without a doubt, is one of the most iconic games in video game history... The legendary and great Tetris! A title for which adjectives run out and which is possibly the most versioned, adapted and copied in the world; It personally marked me, as I suppose it happened to the rest of my eighties generation. The platforms, architectures, devices and programming languages for which clones have been made are endless, and even the great company Sega succumbed to its charms by developing Columns, perhaps its best evolution to date.

Therefore, we find ourselves before the typical self-destructive puzzle of geometric pieces that, in our case, will always be two cubes of different colors that are falling without control or compassion for our growing despair, with a time limit of 2 minutes to destroy 50 blocks, having to join 3 by 3 for that purpose. In other words, the most difficult yet. But, fortunately, we have some ingenious bomb blocks to dynamite and lighten their presence, as well as very simple and fast-responsive controls: left, right, rotate the pieces or make them fall quickly.

Finally, tell you that you can play online from our website or download it in a basic version of 8 kb or an improved version of 16 kb —only in its graphic section, because in its sound section do not expect any. Honestly, I think that a simple, fun or catchy soundtrack, during the game, would have been the icing on the cake, and it is really missing in a game of this type. But, at all, this is a magnificent, very respectful, original and talented turn of the screw towards this wonderful classic that will never go out of style.
