Personal review

XOR has 15 levels that each show up a square plane very much like boulderdash.
also you meet step by step about eight different "figures":

masks - have to be collected
wall - won't let you pass

dots - can only be passed vertically
waves - can only passed vertically

fish - will fall down till meeting wall.
runs through waves, stands on dots.
chicks - will go left till meeting wall.
runs through dots, stops at waves.

bombs - falls down, will eliminate three fields in a row when hit by fish or chick,
poison - runs left, will eliminate a column of three when hit by fish or chick.

dolls - stands still until you push it. then runs in that direction. doesn't harm bombs or poison you cannot believe how different, how difficult, how logical, how thrilling the setup of these few figures and their behaviour can be! i played it on a sinclair when i was 15. we two of us were banned. i
played it when i found the atari version - and was banned again.
now i'm playing this game a third time with the STEEM - and i'm 25!

this game is THE BEST computergame i've ever played!!
it really makes every 3Dshooter fade to grey,
and the music is an absolutely fantastic rollaround.
check this out, guys, strategy that makes your head crack!
