Puzznic (パズニック, Pazunikku) is a
PC Engine, X68000, Amiga, Atari ST, Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, MS-DOS, and ZX Spectrum between 1990 and 1991. Home computer ports were handled by Ocean Software; the 2003 PlayStation port was handled by Altron. The arcade and FM Towns versions had adult content, showing a naked woman at the end of the level; this was removed in the international arcade release (but not the US one) and other home ports. A completed Apple IIGS
version was cancelled after Taito America shut down.
Puzznic bears strong graphical and some gameplay similarities to Taito's own Flipull/Plotting.
Reception
In Japan, Game Machine listed Puzznic on their December 1, 1989 issue as being the fourth-most-successful table arcade unit of the month.[4]
The game was ranked the 34th best game of all time by Amiga Power.[5]
