An image puzzle game and the follow-up to the original Kinetic Connection, it was developed by Tamtex and published by Irem for the Famicom Disk System. Monitor Puzzle Kineko: Kinetic Connection Vol. II is a follow-up to Tamtex's Kinetic Connection, featuring more animated pictures to assemble from composite pieces like a jigsaw puzzle. As with its forebear, the trick to Kinetic Connection Vol. 2 is to closely observe the moving parts in each piece as the animation goes through its loop, to glean hints as to where each piece belongs. Though very much more of the same, the new puzzles have some new ideas behind them. The hardest puzzles are Defender-like games that respond to the player's movements as they try to assemble the puzzle.

An image puzzle game similar to a jigsaw puzzle, except the picture it creates is animated. It was published by Irem in Japan only for the Famicom Disk System. Kinetic Connection, which has a longer title of Monitor Puzzle Kineco: Kinetic Connection for its original FDS release, is a puzzle game in which the player has to assemble a picture from a number of pieces like a jigsaw. However, the image (and thus the smaller pieces of the image) is constantly moving as it loops through an animation: This makes putting the puzzle together even more complicated, though it's occasionally made easier by carefully watching how pieces interact with each other. The game was developed by Tamtex, a subsidiary of Irem that made computer games, and published by Irem in Japan. The game would be later ported to the MSX and C64 home computers, as well as on the Sega Game Gear. It was also followed a year later with a FDS-only sequel, Kineco II, which was only available via the Disk Writer service.
