Download Klax - DOS game - Abandonware DOS

Klax takes the familiar tile-matching concept and adds speed, pressure, and just enough chaos to keep players constantly on edge. Colored tiles race toward the bottom of the screen while you catch, stack, and arrange them into matching patterns before everything spirals out of control. The rules are easy to understand, yet mastering the game demands sharp reflexes and careful planning. It somehow manages to feel relaxing and stressful at exactly the same time, which is almost an achievement in itself. One misplaced tile can transform a perfect strategy into a spectacular disaster, but that irresistible one-more-try feeling never really goes away.

Klax review

Computer and Video Games Issue 100 (February 1990): "The latest arcade puzzle game I played is Atari's Klax, a strange-looking but unbelievably addictive one or two-player life-matching game! Different coloured tiles advance towards you on a conveyor belt - all you've got to do is scoop them up with a mechanical shovel and flip them into a five-tile wide, five-tile deep bin at the bottom of the screen. If you drop the same three colours either on top of each other, side by side, or in a diagonal line, they disappear and points are awarded more complicated lines of colours such as four in a line, or v-shape patterns give hefty bonus points.
Sounds pretty dull on paper but once you start playing, it's very difficult to stop. There are many subtle intricacies, and some great twists in the gameplay on later levels."
