Critic 80/100
Genre: ?
Brain Age is back with all-new devilishly difficult brain-training exercises designed by world-famous brain researcher Dr. Ryuta Kawashima. The modern mind has numerous devices to stay connected (e.g. laptops, smart phones, tablets), and these distractions have led to an information overload making it difficult to stay focused on specific tasks. Brain Age: Concentration Training offers newly designed training exercises to combat this information addiction. By spending at least five minutes a day, these exercises will challenge players with activities to help improve their concentration skills and the ability to access their short term memory. The new Devilish Training exercises dynamically increase or decrease in difficulty based on your real-time results to help consistently train players at the limit of their abilities. Beyond the Devilish Training, there are additional new and classic puzzles for every purpose, whether to challenge one's concentration or math skills or provide relaxation activities to give the brain a break.

Planned for release in 2013 close to the North American release date, the game was put on hold after being localized with no reason given. It was finally released on July 28th 2017, 5 years after the original Japanese release date. Developed in cooperation with neuroscientist Dr Ryuta Kawashima, the idea behind Devilish Brain Training - the third game in a franchise which has sold more than 15 million copies across Europe to date - is to train your grey matter by completing a series of challenging exercises. The gameplay puts emphasis on concentration skills and training your working memory - an important brain function based around the temporary storage of information for manipulation. Through playing each exercise for a few minutes per day over the course of several weeks, you will be able to monitor the improvements in your focus Devilish Brain Training offers 30 exercises and minigames, including 18 which are brand new, with the core exercises dynamically adapting to create tailored training programmes. For example, Devilish Calculations challenges you to recall the answer to a previous mathematical problem while paying attention to the next one in line. The questions come thick and fast and you have to concentrate hard while remembering specific information to make sure you don’t make any mistakes. Another minigame, Devilish Mice challenges you to simultaneously track the path of several mice while they are being chased by cats. It sounds simple, but the exercise requires much concentration! If you struggle with the exercise, the game will dynamically adjust the difficulty level based on your real-time results. By offering a stiff challenge and shifting the difficulty to match your performance, Devilish Brain Training will constantly push you to stay focused and access short-term memories. The game will be available as a download on Nintendo eShop,

MSX Copycat is an adaptation of the classic memory game SIMON, originally created by Ralph Baer and Howard J. Morrison and distributed in 1978 by Milton Bradley (MB). This game was developed by Alberto (BCO) Sgaggero as part of the Retro Programmers Inside (RPI) and Phaze101 Game Jam. The game features four large squares in green, red, yellow, and blue. Each colored square is associated with the cursor keys on the MSX keyboard. These squares light up in a random sequence, with each square illuminating also emitting a specific musical note. Once the sequence is complete, the player must reproduce it by pressing the cursor keys corresponding to the position of the icons on the screen (for example, if the upper square lights up, the player must press the "up" cursor key), being careful to reproduce it in the exact same order. If the player succeeds in this task, they will be presented with a new sequence, identical to the previous one but with the addition of a new square/tone; the sequence to repeat becomes progressively longer, making the player's task more difficult. Have fun!
