Split Personalities
Sliding block puzzle games were one of many forms of non-electronic entertainment remade with new twists for the digital age. The basic premise is to present one of 10 images (depicting famous people such as Ronald Reagan, Maggie Thatcher, Lady Diana and even Sir Clive Sinclair), with the full image presented on one side of the screen. You have to move the cursor to it, pick up a piece and place it in the main playing area, making sure you can move the others into place. Unlike the plastic versions, there are 16 pieces that fit into 20 spaces, allowing for more leeway in terms of continuous sliding. Complications in this version include gaps in the play area that swallow pieces and return them to the bank, a time limit, bombs that must be moved off the screen to avoid losing a life, and bonus objects that must be moved in specific ways for extra points.
