~ The Puzzle Machine is a very simple game, but can be a very
hard game to complete. It is based on a little numerical puzzle
that most of us has played at sometime. The game has 15 numbered
boxes and 1 blank box. The computer mixes these boxes in a grid
and you try to arrange them back to there orginal order.
~* * * T H E P L A Y I N G A R E A * * *
~ The playing area is a grid of 16 boxes which are numbered 1
to 15 with one blank at the box position 16. After the computer
mixes these numbers then you are to begin moving them to there
original order by using the numberic keypad 2, 4, 6 & 8 keys.
To move a block merely use the 2, 4, 6, 8 or the Arrow Keys.
You move the numbered boxes towards then Blank Box.
~ Note: In early versions of The Puzzle Machine this was just
the reverse. But many said they would like it this way since
it was logically correct.
