Color Lines (aka Lines) is a computer puzzle game, invented by Oleg Demin and first introduced as a video game by the Russian company Gamos (Russian: Геймос) in 1992. Igor Ivkin and Gennady Denisov were credited for the graphics. In early versions of Color Lines, the author was listed as Olga Demina. This was a disguise, because Oleg Demin held a public job at the moment and was not allowed to work on side projects.
Game rules[edit]
The game starts with a 9×9 board with three balls chosen out of seven different colours. The player can move one ball per turn, and the player may only move a ball to a particular place if there is a path (linked set of vertical and horizontal empty cells) between the current position of the ball and the desired destination. The goal is to remove balls by forming lines (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) of at least five balls of the same colour. If the player does form such lines of at least five balls of the same colour, the balls in those lines disappear, and he gains one turn, i.e. he can move another ball. If not, three new balls are added, and the game continues until the board is full. Everytime a line (or multiple lines) disappear, the player earn a score (the more balls disappear the more score they should earn). The goal of the game is to score as much as possible.
Lines for Windows[edit]
While the platform of the original game was MS-DOS, a Windows version came later. It was licensed to Namco in Japan and released as Golly! Ghosts! Goal! on March 29, 1996. It uses characters from the 1990 arcade game Golly! Ghost! and features very few differences from the original game.
In the late nineties probably the most popular Windows clone of the game was issued. It is known as Lines '98 or Lines Millennium.
Later implementations[edit]
Currently, clones and variations of the game are available for all mobile and desktop platforms. The game is known by many names, such as Lines Classic, Classic Lines, Linez Classic, Linez, Lines 98, iColor Lines, etc.
