Games magazine publishes 27 Conceptis puzzles in special section of Games World of PuzzlesSunday, February 1, 2004
Games published 27 Conceptis logic puzzles in the March issue of Games World of Puzzles magazine. Available on newsstands since December 2003, this is the first issue to contain all 3 types of Conceptis logic puzzles: PAP (Pic-a-Pix), locally branded as Paint by Numbers (PBN), LAP (Link-a-Pix), locally branded as Paint by Pairs, and FAP (Fill-a-Pix). Along with the puzzles, Games also published an introduction presenting the concept of picture forming logic puzzles and a sort of “user manual” suggesting puzzlers how to get started. This introduction starts with the following paragraph: “A few years ago a fellow named Dave Green walked into our office with a briefcase full of what he called “Pic-a-Pix” puzzles. Of course, he knew all about the picture-forming logic puzzles that are all the rage in Japan - they’ve been around since the late ‘80s, with various names such as “Window Art Puzzles” and “Nonograms.” Today, Dave’s company, Conceptis Ltd. (www.conceptispuzzles.com), is a puzzling force to be reckoned with, and its Web site brings Paint by Numbers aficionados together from all over the globe.” Games, "the magazine for creative minds at play", is a leading consumer game and puzzle magazine in the United States. As previously published by Conceptis (LEADING AMERICA MAGAZINE PUBLISHES CONCEPTIS' PUZZLES, July 2000) Games Publications has been including Conceptis Puzzles in both Games and Games World of Puzzles magazines since summer 2000. In July 2000 the company published a special section of Games World of Puzzles, based on 20 PAP puzzles from Conceptis. Games publications have been using Conceptis puzzles since then, including them in most issues of Games Magazine and Games World of Puzzles. Related resources |
