SomeGame v0.64 Released By Niklas Brunlid

Our own Niklas Brunlid has made an update to his popular SomeGame for the 89 and 92 Plus. Released under the GPL, SomeGame v0.64 is a clone of the popular SameGame for old console systems such as the Atari, had me hooked in the form of Martin Hock's Insane Game for the 85 back in the day. To this end, I must endorse this game to as great an extent as I possibly can, and I implore you to download it for the 89 and the 92 Plus.
For those of you who don't know what SameGame/SomeGame/Insane Game is, you must clear all the shapes (or, in this case, differently colored circles) from a screen by clearing clumps of two or more shapes that are adjacent to each other. The object is to clear the whole screen - for doing so, your final score is quadrupled.
Easy to learn, impossible to master. And I mean impossible - especially when the amount of different shapes increases.
Though this game has been out for a few weeks now and the update covers just a few minor bugfixes, it warrants a news item for this reason only: you will be addicted. Oh, and my all-time high score is 2,147. Enjoy :)
