Passage 3 Version 2.62 is a game that mixes Tetris, Domino and Solitaire features.
There are four games variations, each one with its rules.
In the Construct variant you will have to place tiles on a board. The tiles will have a drawing and a color. You must place them in such way that they match the drawing or color of the adjacent tiles. If you choose to place the tile in a wrong place, a credit will be deducted. If you discard a tile (with the right mouse button) that could have been placed, you will be deducted a credit for each possible location. When you run out of credits, your game is over.
The Continue variant is similar to the Construct variant, but when you fill a row or a column, the tiles will disappear.
In the Clear variant you will have some already designated tiles that you will need to clear.
In the Classic variant you will have to play all the 72 pieces until the game is over.
You can choose between 14 different tile sets and 10 different background themes. A female voice will guide you through the game.
v2.6 [Sep 13, 2011]
- With some configurations a highscore upload was not possible. The error message "There is no local highscore available yet. Please play the game at least once." appeared although a highscore was available. This has been fixed.
- There was a problem with some surround sound cards: The game set the loudspeaker setting to stereo even if 5.1 or 7.1 was selected. This has been fixed.
- Several changes made necessary by Windows XP's Service Pack 2.
- Accelerated display routines for many systems.
- Completely new internet access routines for hiscore upload and download.
- Significantly lower CPU load during the game when using Windows XP to avoid heat problems on very fast PCs.
