Shawl Download (1986 Puzzle Game)

Shawl is a logical arcade game dealing with card suits. Circles of different colors, radii, and card suits appear in the rectangular frame, where the quasi-stick is flying in diagonal directions, ricocheting from the frame borders. The goal is to collect only unique suits to compose a four-suit set. Collecting a suit that already exists in the set composed so far will eliminate all other suits collected in the series up until this suit. Too many such missteps will lead to game over.

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.
