Monitor Puzzle Kineko: Kinetic Connection Vol. II

An image puzzle game and the follow-up to the original Kinetic Connection, it was developed by Tamtex and published by Irem for the Famicom Disk System.

Monitor Puzzle Kineko: Kinetic Connection Vol. II is a follow-up to Tamtex’s Kinetic Connection, featuring more animated pictures to assemble from composite pieces like a jigsaw puzzle. As with its forebear, the trick to Kinetic Connection Vol. 2 is to closely observe the moving parts in each piece as the animation goes through its loop, to glean hints as to where each piece belongs.

Though very much more of the same, the new puzzles have some new ideas behind them. The hardest puzzles are Defender-like games that respond to the player’s movements as they try to assemble the puzzle.
