Amigos Plays – Devious Designs – 1991
I asked for games I had never heard of so I could play something new, Dreamkatcha came up with an epic list so I picked one at random and this was it.
Watch as I struggle to play a puzzle game, my worse enemy. See the action pause whilst I look at solutions on YouTube. Scream with excitement when I finally get past the easy tutorial levels and watch in bewilderment as it suddenly turns into some weird ass shooter for one level only !

LOL. Sorry, it’s definitely an acquired taste this one. Still, you gave it a fair crack of the whip so to speak. Much more of an interesting curiosity than a fun puzzler I reckon. It probably explains why Tetris has never been tweaked with greater success than the original achieved.
Some things are perfect upon creation, Tetris, Curly Wurly, Wispa Gold and Weird Science all instantly spring to my warped mind.
I didn’t mind it, just not my cuppa.
