Description

From the listing uploaded by “catappult”.

Line 98 Standard or classic Color Lines 1998 - Retro version of the most additive board game offline ever on PC (If you ever used Windows 98, you would remember this game - Line 98) Line 98 (or Color Lines) was invented by a Russian developer in 90s. It then was developed on PC and integrated in Windows 98. Then we call it Line 98 Classic or Color Lines 1998 . This classical board game is set with 9x9 grid. On this square grid, there are some random color balls in normal status and three small ones which could be replaced by a big one when you drag another color ball into. If you don't, the small color ball will grow and become a big ball, take the place and fill up grid. Your mission is to rearrange the color balls to form a line of same color with at least 5 color balls in a line (row, column, cross). Then you have a color line, all the balls will explode and the grid will be clean. Do it again as much as possible to get score. This Line 98 (or Lines 98 Classic, Color Lines also) is very famous in 90s. When every officer use PC and Windows 98, they all know this game and it was really really additive. But it's also relaxing, a good choice to kill time in your office, or when waiting for someone. Enjoy it - the Line 98 Standard version 2. P/s: I'm going to update it at the same version with Line 98 Standard 1, but I lost the key store. So please download this version instead. Thank you!
