Overview[]
The multi-game consists of 5 puzzle games, some of which are exclusive to this collection.
- Box Logic (Picross clone)
- Rock Tris (Tetris clone with a naked woman in background)
- Bubble Gum (Puzzle Bobble / Bust-A-Move clone using graphics from the original)

- Tong Boy (clone of Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., and Donkey Kong 3)
Rocktris is known to have been released as a stand-alone arcade machine and in Puzzle Club along with Box Logic.
Games[]
Box Logic[]
A Picross game, though not directly based on a specific Picross game.
Bubble Gum[]
A direct port of Taito's Puzzle Bobble (otherwise known as Bust-A-Move in USA). All of the assets were taken directly from the original game including the sound effects and graphics.
Cross Point[]
Not to be confused with Cross Pang by F2 System. It's a clone of Sega's Columns, which (depending on the version of the game) features a naked woman in the background.
Rock Tris[]
Even though the game is named Rock Tris, it's actually Magix. It is an adult Tetris clone featuring new types of blocks, which was made by Yun Sung in 1995. This is not to be confused with the 1994 game, Rock, which is a clone of X Rock released by Soft World in 1990 for MS-DOS, which itself is a clone of Columns.
Tong Boy[]
A complete adaptation of the original Donkey Kong trilogy, though with the characters changed. The adaptions of Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. feature new stages with different enemy and ladder placements. The backgrounds appear to be stolen from Earthworm Jim, Rayman, Disney's Aladdin, and The Lion King (Sega Genesis).
