Ultimate Super Stack
Ultimate Super Stack is an insanely addictive puzzle game. It is a sequel to Super Stack, though I felt this game was alot better. Although it has a format similar to that of the almighty Tetris, it is quite different, as you will see from playing. It is a long game, with 55 levels, but by no means that is a bad thing. It is 55 levels of pure fun.
The object of the game is to get a certain number of stars, by trapping existing stars between objects, and by creating chain-reactions. As zany as this sounds, playing the game is fun, and surprisingly it has a very easy learning curve.
People who program in Qbasic will know of this award winning game, which won the 2001 QB Gaming Gold Award Winner for Best Sound/Sound Editing and Best Puzzle Game. I have been playing this game for a while now, and decided it needs to come here.
From a technical standpoint, this game is superb. Although it is made in Qbasic (commonly percieved to be notoriously slow), it runs flicker-free, with great graphics, and superb sound, with the help of DirectQB, a programming library for Qbasic.
The gameplay is superb, and almost flawless. At the start, you play through some tutorial levels, where the wizard-like entity in the game gives you hints and playing methods. And if you still feel overwhelmed by the gameplay, you can read the comprehensive manual by the author explaining everything, along with little ASCII drawings of the board.
Overall, (especially for a QBasic/DOS game) this game is almost flawless. It is more fun that most Tetris clones, or anything that uses that idea. It has different play modes as well. Anyone will enjoy it, as the game is very kid-safe, and actually kid-friendly, with nice colourful drawings, but adults just the same will be drawn in by the game's charm. This game is a definate download, and a must for all puzzle loving gamers.
