Emulation
Guides on emulating older games

These enhanced clones and mash-ups of popular puzzle games were released as shareware between 1993 and 1996.

Rules (such as piece types and playfield size) can be selectively customized to adjust difficulty. Games traditionally played on top-down square grids may offer hexagonal, randomized, or bespoke layouts, and some also incorporate level editors. All of the falling-block games offer special pieces similar to those in Super Tetris.

Nine titles are included:

Polytris (Tetris)
Poly-RC (Columns)
Polybrid (Tetris + Columns)
Poly-Kin (Puyo Puyo)
Poly-Tile (Tesserae)
Poly-Peg (Peg Solitaire)
Poly-Dol (Cogito)
PolyMine (Minesweeper)
Poly-Off (Lights Out)

Another three, resembling KaleidoKubes, Chiral, and the author's own Dr. Mario clone respectively, were available through email but not downloadable. We would appreciate copies of any of the following:

Poly-Link
Poly-Atom
Poly-Drax

So if these games needed hacking to run, I guess they could be called be "Poly wants a cracker".
