Cryptik by Cascoly Software. This is a cryptic jigsaw puzzle. After dividing up the picture into pieces, the pieces are converted to only show the major colors. Swap pieces by selecting a piece with the left mouse button, and right click where you want to move it to. Scoring is done by the number of swaps needed, and the number of hints used. This is the Shareware version, which comes with two VGA images. There's an additional SVGA picture that was distributed separately due to space. (Included as PUZSVG.ZIP.) The registered version removes the nag screen and includes two more images. The program will accept custom images; convert to PCX format and save with .EGA, .VGA, or .SVG format. CRYPTIK.zip comes from Game Empire. PUZSVG.ZIP comes from textfiles.com. I have modified CRYPTIK.zip to add VEILS.SVG and PUZSVG.ZIP.
