Summary

Flipull, the Game Boy adaptation of Taito’s arcade puzzler Plotting, drops you into a bright, tile‑matching challenge that feels oddly familiar if you’ve ever played Puzznic. The handheld version keeps the core mechanic of swapping blocks to clear the board, but the portable screen adds a crisp, bite‑size feel that makes each level a quick brain‑teaser. When it hit the market in 1989, the game earned respectable marks from Electronic Gaming Monthly, hovering around the 7‑out‑of‑10 range across four reviews. In Japan, the arcade original was listed as the eighth‑most‑successful table unit in August of that year, and years later Amiga Power even crowned it the 23rd best game ever. Those accolades hint at why Flipull still pops up in retro‑gaming conversations, even if it never reached the fame of its more famous cousins.
