Single-page review of the Master System version by Gus Swan and Lucy Hickman. The writers describe it as a fair approximation of the Mega Drive version, and the best Master System puzzle game to date. They complain about the single-player mode being too easy, but it's made up for by the better two-player mode.

Short review of the Master System version, describing it as having more features than the Mega Drive game and an excellent two-player mode.
