Puzznic

is a tile-matching video game developed and released by Taito for arcades in 1989. It was converted to the Nintendo Entertainment System, Game Boy, PC Engine, X68000, Amiga, Atari ST, Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, MS-DOS, and ZX Spectrum between 1990 and 1991. Home computer ports were handled by Ocean Software; the 2003 PlayStation port was handled by Altron. The arcade and FM Towns versions have adult content, showing a naked woman at the end of the level; this was removed in the international arcade release (but not the US one ) and other home ports . The completed Apple IIGS port was never officially released, but subsequently leaked, after Taito America shut down. Puzznic bears strong graphical and some gameplay similarities to Taito's own Flipull/Plotting.
