FlipIt (Strategy/Board) by JyCet This is a conversion of the game Flipit that was written for the PC Engine by Dave Shadoff. It's a two person game where you have to beat you opponent by placing a counter on the grid where it will 'steal' your opponents counters that are trapped between two of yours either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Various tactics will need to be developed in order to win the game by 'owning' the most counters on the board. The presentation of this game is what really makes it stand out, it's a perfect example of a very simple game idea that has been touched up to make it more presentable and current. The options screen allows you to choose one of two skill levels, English or French, and choose music and/or sound effects. Graphics: Nice presentation with the interface and menu graphics, animation in game is good too, perfectly sufficient for a game of this nature. Sound: Some mod style music and simple sfx, nothing groundbreaking. Gameplay: Not the most incredible game in the world, but a nice one for a couple of games. Progress: Has had all the updates it needed. Game Idea: It's a port and not an original game. Replay Value: 2 different skill levels, and the first one is quite taxing so this will be staying with me for a while. Overall: A nice little game to accompany the selection of brain games on the GP.
