Palamedes

is a puzzle video game released by Taito in 1990. Gameplay Palamedes is a puzzle game requiring the players to match the dice they are holding to the dice at the top of the screen. Using the "B" button, the player can change the number on their dice, then throw it using the "A" button when it matches the dice at the top of the screen, which wipes the target dice off the board. By matching dice in some combinations, like doing it with the same number several times in a row, or by doing a 1-to-6 sequence, the player is awarded a special move where they can eliminate three to five lines of dice on the game field. At regular time intervals (which get smaller as the game progresses) new dice lines are added, and when a die touches the bottom of the screen, the game ends. The player can play in "solitaire" mode against the computer or another player, or "tournament" mode against AI opponents. There are six sides and numbers on the dice, making an attempt to match all the numbers on the screen and eliminating them a challenge.
