Summary

Puzzle Boys is Atlus’s lone foray onto the Famicom Disk System, arriving just as the platform was fading away and the Game Boy was taking over. The game builds on its predecessor Kwirk – the well‑known Game Boy puzzle title – by adding a splash of color and a surprisingly deep two‑player mode that lets the stronger player set a handicap for a more balanced showdown on the same screen. Another big upgrade is the Puzzle Challenge Mode, which swells the roster from Kwirk’s 30 puzzles to a hefty 80, giving solo puzzlers plenty of fresh brain‑teasers. All of this makes Puzzle Boys a hidden gem for anyone who loves retro puzzlers with a competitive twist.
