Lights Out 2000, is, as the title suggests,
a follow-up to the popular strategy unit.
There are scores of different games to play here, but they all work on the same
principle which resembles the Minesweeper game in Micro$oft Windows.
Put simply, where lights are on, they must be put out, but press a lit button
and it won't just turn off, but usually change colour while others around it
do likewise.
However, it's quite a tricky puzzle and just as you think you've nearly
there, a game can soon spiral out of control and you'll be left with more
lights on than you began with.
Each button can be turned red, green, yellow, as well as off.
Overall, there's not a lot more I can say. Each game is a variant of the
others and is a lot of fun, but for a while - it's something you'll play
now and again, not a game completely unputdownable.
