<DOS> Puzzle game with portraits [Facetrex]

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Wed Apr 30, 2014 6:33 am

Hi! I'm searching for a dos-based puzzle game. Some things I remember:

- It has movable portraits or faces. The goal, if I recall correctly, is to gather the faces into their appropriate slots in the grid.
- The background is a magenta grid (approximately 8x12). The faces slide on the grid as far as they can, until some kind of special block in the grid blocks them.
- Making the moves in the right order is crucial. There are some special blocks on the board, such as turning blocks, and if I remember correctly, some of them could only be used once.
- There were at least 20 different levels to the game, each harder than the previous.
- I played this game between the years 1997-2000 (I know, not very helpful). There was a demo of it on a CD called '100 Kids' Games'.

I would love to find this game or at least find out what it is called, it has been bugging my mind for so long. Thank you for any help!

Soleausoft had a game sort of like this I think. It was called Facetrex:

Oh thank you! That looks like the right game! I totally remembered the color scheme wrong.
