Totems: Columns CPC Two

This game is a version of the Sega classic Columns with a distinctly Egyptian theme. Columns of three blocks, each engraved with a symbol, fall from the top of the screen, and you must create horizontal, vertical or diagonal lines of three or more matching symbols. It’s a simple concept which is quite similar to Tetris. The graphics are beautifully drawn using the CPC’s four-colour mode, and several playing modes are included – classical, stage mode (achieve a score within a set time limit), time attack (score as many points as possible within three minutes), and a two-player ‘versus’ mode.
