Short Circuit is a tile matching strategy puzzler. Clear the board of
tiles within the time limit across 33 levels within 8 different
worlds. Within each world, the tiles will behave differently.
To remove tiles, there must be an unobstructed path between them,
described as a 'circuit'. The circuits may only contain two 90� angles
so you must plan ahead to make sure that matching tiles are not left
cut off or blocked from each other.
If you muck up or get stuck, there are several 'gadgets' that can
help, these however are limited in use.
From the developer:
"Short Circuit is an action-puzzle Shareware game for the Mac. The
object of the game is to get through 8 worlds, each with a different
property, and clear all the tiles within the alloted time. The catch:
tiles can only be cleared if they have a circuit."
Registration instructions:
To register in any version, you need to hold Command (Apple) and
Option (Alt) then press R during a game. For version 1.2.3, you can
also register via the shareware notice by selecting Register w/AutoPay
on the shareware notice, then on the Easy Registration app select
Delayed Register > Enter unlock code in the menu bar at the top of the
screen. Note that in v1.2.3, the name field has a space pre-populated
that must be deleted.
Registration code for v1.2.3 and v1.3 (Untested on older versions)
Name: Moon Dark
Code: RECB
Compatibility
Architecture: 68k
This title has been tested in Basilisk II and SheepShaver using Mac OS
7 and 8, and can be confirmed to be compatible though with minor
graphical glitches. In particular, the red line showing the path taken
when two blocks are connected is not present. This makes it slightly
harder to learn the game, but does not affect play once you understand
the mechanics.
Minimum requirements:
? Mac OS 7
? A 68030 processor
? A 640x400 resolution
? 256 colors or 16-shade greyscale
? 2 MB of RAM
? Sound Manager 3
While an LC III meets all of the above specifications, the game will
slow significantly in the last world, significantly affecting play.
This seems to be a CPU limitation, not RAM or disk. A 68040 is
probably recommended, despite what the read me says.
