It is exciting and simple with a diversity of three-dimensional figures and colors. The goal of the game is to score points by aligning figures of the same shape.

12/03/2002 Talking of Erik, he has posted this link on the Forum- "If you're like me, then when Sony released Clie Paint and World Alarm Clock with the T615C (in the US...not sure what the UK name is!) you got jealous. Well...I definately was a bit jealous beacuse those of us with a N7XX weren't fortunate enough to get these. Now, I'm not sure of the availability of these programs, but I have found them to download for free! The URL is: http://www.mrpalm.com/downloadpage.php3?cid=6 The page is in a foreign langauge, but there is enough English to figure out what's going on! There are other great FREE programs here too."
