Download The Game of Harmony - DOS game

The Game of Harmony is a puzzle game built around arranging elements into pleasing patterns while keeping the brain firmly switched on. The concept sounds peaceful enough, but anyone who has spent ten minutes staring at a puzzle while insisting that the solution must be obvious will understand that harmony can be surprisingly stressful. The game rewards logical thinking, spatial awareness, and experimentation, with increasingly complicated challenges testing how well you understand its rules. Its presentation is relatively restrained, putting the emphasis where it belongs: on solving the puzzles rather than admiring elaborate scenery. That makes it a good example of the sort of compact DOS game that could be learned quickly but mastered only with patience. There is no need for explosions or armies here; the real enemy is the puzzle sitting quietly on the screen, waiting for you to make one more completely wrong move.

The Game of Harmony review

Zero Magazine Issue 7 (1990) - "E-Motion is all about population control. The idea is to bang away like an armed policeman without creating babies. Or something like that. You control an, erm... thingy with an arrow on top showing the direction in which you're facing. Knocking balls of the same colour together causes them to disappear. If, by some careless accident, two orbs of different colours collide, baby balls are produced. Being a good cannibal you eat them, because if you don't they grow into big balls themselves of yet another colour. Darwinism has never been so annoying. The idea is to get rid of all the balls before they explode and it ain't easy, mainly because your thingy is awfully difficult to control.
E-Motion is a game you'll either love or hate. It requires a good deal more joystick juggling than most puzzle games, which will almost certainly make it or break it depending on your point of view. But no matter how fast your reflexes, a dumb move can spell disaster as the population on screen takes off like rabbits on an 18-30 holiday. A complete load of balls. In the best possible taste."
