"Minskies: The Abduction" is a competitive puzzle game originally released on the Amiga line of computers, this however is the DOS version that was completed but never released. So from what I can tell, this essentially "Puyo Puyo". By which I'm referring to the "rules" present in the first game in the series from the Arcade, Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, SNES/SFC, etc. Meaning that you can't counter the garbage blocks that your opponent sends to your play field. I'd imagine that could be a deal breaker for some people who prefer having that mechanic, and might find this game a little lacking. I'll be honest in saying I feel a little bit like this, but on the other hand I can't say that I don't at least have fun with the game. I'm still a beginner when it comes to playing “Puyo Puyo” competitively, but I eventually want to beat this game on “Easy” and “Normal” modes.

About This Game
Minskies Furballs is not a port, but a spiritual clone of Puyo Puyo. In a tournament against a cast of crazy characters, you must guide and rotating falling pairs of cats of different colours to make up colour combinations. When four or more cats make contact, they are eliminated, and those above fall down, thereby possibly triggering a chain reaction. Chain reactions will make fish and boulders fall down into your opponent's playfield, blocking his progress. Eliminating blocks will sometimes give you special weapons which can be used to eliminate cats and blocks from the screen.
The game can be played in a two-player mode or against crazy cartoon opponents such as the ugly pie Boo Cake, Hawkings the hawk or the slimy Greebo, who express their mood using both samples and small animations. If you win money in the match, you can gamble in a fruit machine. In two-player mode, each player can have a handicap.

I don't know much about puyo puyo but my wife and I had fun playing this game, which is apparently very similar to it. Originally played it on Antstream but then wanted a local version so I could play local multiplayer on it (Antstream doesn't support local multiplayer for it yet).
