Foreign Cabinet

Moby ID: 177746

Description

Photographs of world leaders have been torn to pieces. Can you put them back together?

Foreign Cabinet is a sliding tile-matching game, inspired by the 1986 title Split Personalities, also known as Splitting Images.

You are given a complete picture on the right side of the screen and must move the jumbled up pieces that emerge from the chute to match it. All the pictures are of well known recent political leaders. You start with a blank play area and must bring new pieces into play. They will continue to slide across the area until they hit another piece, so you must push other blocks in their path to stop them where you want them. There are doors along the edge of the play area where you can eject pieces (deliberately or accidentally) and repellents which will send the tile back from where it came from. Not all tiles are related to the picture (rockets, diamonds, bombs, etc. ) and these items can be matched for bonus points or ejected. The bomb will explode and you will lose a life if not ejected quickly or doused with a water tile if available. Each puzzle must be completed within a set time limit and you are given three lives.
