Microsoft Entertainment Pack: The Puzzle Collection is a collection of original puzzle games: Charmer, Color Collision, Flinty Flush, Fringer, Jewel Chase, Lineup, Mixed Genetics, Muddled Casino, Rat Poker, Spring Weekend. Flinty Flush is an odd game in which a grid of balls is suspended above a 4×4 grid. Both grids can be moved left or right to align them, and the bottom grid can also be rotated. The goal is to drop balls from the top grid such that they fill the bottom grid. Rat Poker is a reasonably amusing game in which colored rats enter the screen and march around in circles. If three or four rats of the same color are in a row when they reach the exit area, they exit together and the player scores points. One or more traps within the loop allow a single rat to be trapped and later released in order to get rats of the same color in a row. Rats continue entering the loop indefinitely, and a certain number of points must be scored to advance to the next level before the loop is completely full. Spring Weekend puts a number of objects onto a honeycomb grid, and the player can click on the grid to rotate all of the surrounding objects left or right around it in an attempt to make the grid match a source image. This must be accomplished in a certain number of moves in order to advance to the next level. There are 10 games in this collection, with only 3 playable in the trial version.
