Got a Match?

A memory game in the Old West. Buck and Wingo, trapped in their mine in the Dismal Seepage Range, pass the time with a game played with Berzerkons, jewels of four kinds, Spikies, Roundies, Blockies and Twisties, in six colours. Rows of Berzerkons appear on the sand of the cave: study them while the light lasts, shorter at higher levels, or press to finish early. Then, kind by kind, answer HOW MANY? and WHAT COLOR? with a pointer. Each right answer scores 10 points. One to four players take turns over five rounds, and the winner or winners are named at the end. At higher levels there are more Berzerkons of each kind to remember, and less time to study them.

Controls: Use either joystick. On the title, up and down choose, left and right change, and a button picks. In the game, a button ends the study time; left and right move the pointer and a button answers. Several players can pass one controller or each use their own.
