I used to play the demo of this game over and over again during my childhood back at 2000. Only a few puzzles were included, of which I remember Eiffel tower, Manhattan, and a few other memorable places. I would love to play the full version
I had this game back when it came out and would go back and play it several times over the years. Sadly, since PCs don't have CD drives anymore, it's not really possible.
The puzzles in this game are sometimes unique variants I've never seen anyway else. A puzzle where you have a bunch of outlines overlapping and have to fill in spots with a color to find the shape? A puzzle where every piece has an overlap with other pieces? A puzzle where you have to find a part of s picture based on its outline, but you can only see the parts of the image the outline is moving over?
This is a diamond in the rough and deserves to live again, forever, and be playable on modern computers.
Please help this happen. :)
I played this game when I was a kid on my family's Pentium II PC. Back in the good old days when dial-up internet was still a thing and Windows 95 was a cutting edge operating system. It's practically abandon ware at this point and you can technically download it for free. But the resolution is kind weird and I can't seem to fix it. I'd pay for a version that functions properly on modern PCs with high resolution support. I absolutely loved this game and would like to replay it.
I used to play this game with my dad when I was a kid.
There are quite a few different puzzle types, and although you get to try them all early on if I remember correctly, they become progressively more difficult by having more pieces to them.
A nice feature in the game is that you have a couple of free passes if you get stuck and you can kid of pick in what order you do things, though that doesn't really matter in the end.
I remember the pictures you worked towards recreating being quite nice, there were definitely paintings, I don't recall if there were also photographs.
What I do remember is that the music really set the atmosphere! If you check it out now on youtube, it's not necessarily outstanding, but with the pictures combined and the idea that you were at a specific location in the world, they were really nice!

Lumines Electronic SymphonyLumines Electronic Symphony uses the new features of the PlayStation Vita such as the touch pad on the back, while keeping classic controls already known in the first Lumines on the front.
Lumines Electronic Symphony now uses animated 3D blocks instead of 2D sprites. The game will use the front touch screen controls to move and rotate blocks but will also support analog and D-pad controls.
In previous Lumines titles, a player unlocked skins based on their ability to successfully reach that skin. However, in Lumines Electronic Symphony, an experience point system has been integrated. Now all the points that a player receives in a session are converted into XP, so as the player levels up, additional skins and avatars will be unlocked.
Each avatar has a single player and multiplayer ability mapped to them. Players unlock more avatars and find the abilities that best suit their style of play.
Q Entertainment enlisted the design firm, BUILD (which was founded by former Designers Republic and Psygnosis members), to create much of the game's marketing materials, such as the new logo, in-game font, and graphic elements for the package design.Kids
