Shawl

DOS - 1986

Before Aleixei Pajitnov became famous world over for Tetris, he designed this strange puzzle game for Russian developer Academy Soft that is would later be revised as Color Collision for Microsoft's Puzzle Collection.

Bounce the moving light beam off various shapes to turn them into required colors. A first display of Pajitnov's action & puzzle blend that would become his hallmark.
