Overview

Klax (1990) on the Atari Lynx is a close port of Atari's arcade puzzle game: catch coloured tiles from a conveyor and stack them into matches.

Deep Dive

Klax on the Lynx brings the arcade puzzle game to Atari's handheld, played with the screen turned vertically to match the arcade layout. Tiles tumble down a conveyor to be caught on a paddle and dropped into bins, forming rows, columns and diagonals of matching colours, called Klaxes, across a sequence of waves with different goals. It was widely regarded as one of the best home versions of the game.
