The game is called ‘PuzzLove’ and it’s by Para (Paradise of Amusement) so it slotted into the driver we have for their other game (Silver Millennium) however there were some graphical errors with the sprites (wrong sizes, flickering). The Silver Millennium hardware is one of the many Korean hardware types using Tumble Pop style sprites as a base so I was a little surprised to see sprite glitches.
I took a quick look and it turns out they had simply swapped one bit of the sprite height attribute with the ‘blink / flicker’ bit. This was probably done as a simple kind of protection to stop board swaps. I added a special case for this game, and the glitches were fixed.
The game is a collection of mini-games accessed through the maze screen, I don’t get the impression there is a huge variety on offer but it’s an interesting original Korean development from 1994. Huge thanks to Manuel Assoni for dumping the ROMs from his PCB.
