Pharaohs Match

An arcade coin-up game ported to Amiga in 1989. This puzzle game resembles simple mah-jongg or Taipei games. Find matches between the Oriental-motif patterns printed atop "free" (generally: exposed, on corners) tiles in various layered formations. Matched pairs disappear, yielding different free tiles and further matching possibilities. Ostensibly, the game is completed when all tiles are matched, though sometimes random tile placement results in unwinnable games.
