And now among the Danaans you claim in prophecy that for this reason the god who strikes from afar brings woes upon them, “Prophet of evil, never yet have you spoken to me a pleasant thing ever is evil dear to your heart to prophesy, but a word of good you have never yet spoken, nor brought to pass. To Calchas first of all he spoke, and his look threatened evil: With rage his black heart was wholly filled, and his eyes were like blazing fire. When he had thus spoken he sat down, and among them arose the warrior, son of Atreus, wide-ruling Agamemnon, deeply troubled. He will not drive off from the Danaans the loathsome pestilence, until we give back to her dear father the bright-eyed maiden, unbought, unransomed, and lead a sacred hecatomb to Chryse. “It is not then because of a vow that he finds fault, nor because of a hecatomb, but because of the priest whom Agamemnon dishonoured, and did not release his daughter nor accept the ransom.įor this cause the god who strikes from afar has given woes and will still give them. The game doesn't have a decent sound system, which is too bad, but the game doesn't need that to be good.Then the blameless seer took heart, and spoke: I sometimes went to sleep with images of the game dancing before my eyes when I closed them. Just like Tetris or some other simple puzzle game, it's often so very simple, but you can go for hours and days before you call a break. I often say that simplicity leads to addictive games, and this is the perfect example. You play against the computer, and the AI is really tough, so even though you know the basic concept of the game, you have to use some gray matter from your brain to actually win this game. That way you make room for more lines and can get a better high score. This game is very simple to figure out - you have to form a line, diagonal, horizontal or vertical, of 5 balls with the same color to make it disappear. Like the best puzzle games, Color Lines is addictive and simple to learn, yet difficult to master and fans of Pipe Dreams or Wetrix are sure to adore it. Although no one plays these games for their graphics, some effort have been made to introduce personality through the player characters which adorn the screen, while the clean, uncluttered interface and bright colours render the game visually appealing and easy to play. It is straightforward enough to pick up and play, with simple rules, but requires advance planning and thinking to defeat a highly challenging AI. If a line is not created then three new balls are added, with the game proceeding until the board is empty. Moves can only be made if there is a clear path and if a line of 5 is made, then those balls disappear, adding to the player's score and giving them another turn. Unlike Tetris, Color Lines is played against the computer, with alternating turns where each player moves one ball across a 9 x 9 grid into the desired location. Hailing from Russia, like its spiritual predecessor Tetris, Color Lines shares that classic's simple approach to puzzling, requiring players to build lines of five balls, each of the same colour. An unusual diversion, Color Lines is one of those games that will appeal to puzzle fans who value exercising their minds rather than their trigger fingers.
