Description:

PANDORA'S BOX is a puzzle fan's fantasy,with beautifully drawn backgrounds and unique photos. Designed by famed TETRIS creator, Alexey Pajitnov, this game is a puzzle game with a goal, to find the missing pieces of the box and capture the 7 tricksters by solving puzzles.

The demo features 8 of the 350 puzzles in the full version, and each one of these are 'visual' jigsaw-type puzzles, for example, you will need to fit together pieces of a particular photo by either sliding, rotating, shrinking, etc. until the photo is whole.

Saving is not an option in the demo, so each time you play you must start over, and the puzzles are the same every time. The full version includes hints, free puzzle solving points and other options.

Like Rollercoaster Tycoon, Microsoft Pandora's Box only works with Microsoft Windows 95, 98, or NT. You can find a complete list of the game's technical requirements at http://www.microsoft.com/games/pandorasbox/tech.htm.

And, like Rollercoaster Tycoon, a full, free trial version of Microsoft Pandora's Box is available for download. Just point your Web browser to http://www.microsoft.com/games/pandorasbox/downloads.htm.

The download file is HUGE (@16Mb), so patience is a virtue. But, if you are looking for a fun, non-violent game that EVERYONE in your family will enjoy, the download is worth the wait. :)
