Elite Bastards retro review: Gem'X
In the first of what will hopefully now be a weekly feature here at Elite Bastards, our very own retro king Layden has taken a look at a classic game of years gone by. The first object of his perusal is Gem'X for the Commodore Amiga - how has it stood the test of time?
Gem'X is a puzzle game with an Anime influenced design. The game is hosted by "Kiki", who cheers you on as you play the game. As with most puzzle games, the aim is pretty simple. In this case, you have to manipulate the pile of gems on the left to match the pile on the right. In the middle of the screen is a guide that explains how gems change their colour as you manipulate them. Positioning the cursor over a gem and clicking the fire button transforms that gem through two colour progressions. The four gems that surround the selected gem will transform by one progression.

UK Kindle book store now open for business
While Amazon's Kindle (and associated applications for the PC, iPhone and iPad) have been available in the UK for some time now, we've been forced to buy all of our books and the like for this platform via the US store, which often meant incurring extra charges as a result. However, this is no longer the case, as Amazon have finally opened up their UK specific Kindle store for our enjoyment.
If you want to check it out, then it's easy to find from Amazon.co.uk.
