Picture Puzzle (game in case) - $7.50. This is from ebay; a bunch of copies of the "Europe" version of this appeared at some point, and this once-uncommon game is now easy enough to find. Well, I finally got a copy -- and it's my first NGPC game in QUITE a while. I never see any to buy locally, and online... I don't know, I just don't do it. I should more often, the system has a small library and there are more great games I don't have. Anyway, Picture Puzzle is a Picross game, essentially. Yes, it's Picross, just like the various Nintendo Picross games. This one has 200 puzzles, going from 5x5 to 15x15. That means that it's got only a fraction the amount of content as Picross DS, but just as much or more than any of Nintendo's Picross games from the '90s (there was the US-released GB one, a second GB one, and a bunch on SNES download service all in Japan only), so that's nice. Picross DS also goes up to 20x20, but 15x15 can be a good challenge. Of course having to use a stick instead of a touchpen makes the game a bit slower, but it's the same great game, and the controls are good enough. I like Picture Puzzle a lot, it's just what I was hoping it would be.
