  The Atari Times - 7800 - KLAX Review
Klax wasn't originally coded by Atari to take advantage of a POKEY chip enhancement, and the 7800 version is inexplicably handicapped with unappealing blips and bloops that are only marginally more appealing than complete silence.
Klax on the 7800 is, fortunately, graphically faithful to most of the other console versions of this game, and purists should be delighted by the presentation to which they're treated here.
Klax on the 7800 preserves the all-important element of arcade gameplay and is largely true to the original graphical presentation, and this should please all but the most discerning Klax and arcade gaming fanatics.

  Klax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Klax is a 1989 arcade game by Atari Games, which was inspired at least somewhat by the very similar game called Columns.
Klax is most generally known for having spun off the catchphrase "It is the 90's and there is time for Klax," which was omnipresent in Chicagoland hipster areas, such as Wicker Park, for a brief period of time during 2001.
The Atari 2600 version of Klax is notable in that it was the last game ever produced for the 2600 system by Atari themselves, instead of a Third Party company.

Klax is a 1989 arcade game by Atari Games.
It is similar to Tetris in that colored pieces fall from the top of the screen and it is your job to drop them in the correct position so that they disappear and make room for more tiles.

Klax is one of those puzzle games in the vein of Tetris, where you have to match up pieces, in this case tiles, to make them disappear.
Klax is a truly addictive puzzle game, but there are a few things that noticeably hold it back.
Klax is truly fun in the earlier levels, just don't break your controller out of frustration when you cannot manage the later levels.

Almost immediately, Klax was likened to Tetris (mind you, most puzzle games have been likened to Tetris, so nothing was new there).
Klax's aren't exactly modern art, but they can't be called 'basic' either.
For example, depending on the level, you have to get x number of klaxes (a 'klax' is a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line comprising of three or more like tiles), or 10 horizontal klaxes, or have 50 tiles pass down the conveyor belt.

Klax is a puzzle game along the same lines as Dr. Mario and Columns.
Around the time Klax was completed Atari decided to drop all support for the 7800, so many games that were completed or nearly so were shelved.

Klax is innovative, challenging, and addictive, and this puzzle compilation is worth grabbing just to bring Klax home.
Controlling the marble with the directional pad is more difficult than it is with the arcade machine's trackball, but hairpin turns and quick stops are still very much possible once you get the hang of pressing back on the D pad to slow the marble down.
The other game on the cartridge is Klax, a rather unique puzzle game that had the misfortune to be released in 1989, at the height of the Tetris craze.

With its top ranking, KLAX is the first Spanish-language station in Los Angeles to be in a position to raise its advertising rates to levels of Anglo stations.
Ranchera was an untapped niche in Los Angeles and KLAX pursed it aggressively with new, young on-air personalities.
KLAX's Arbitron ratings may force advertisers to consider KLAX a mass market vehicle, given the 3 million Latinos in the county, says advertising executives.

You receive points for every Klaxs you create, no matter what the wave objective is. But only those Klaxs that match the wave objective will count toward completing the wave.
But if you want to meet your wave objective, you must create Klaxs to free up bin space to place more tiles.You can place the tiles in any type of Klaxs, but you will probably want to keep it simple when the tiles start tumbling down the ramp more quickly.

I re-used the controls for the Klax in order to keep cost down; the box is now gutted and out of use.
Klax was never a very popular game, and this particular machine never made a lot of money.
The Klax's control panel is rather small - less than 60 x 20 cm of usable space inside the control panel drawer - and the controllers require considerable space, most of which goes inside the panel (invisible from the outside).

 CRASH 77 - Klax
According to Domark Klax is a collection of three same-coloured tiles stacked either vertically, horizontally or diagonally.
Before the fun begins the player is given the choice to start on either the level one with three drops and no bonus, level six with four drops and 100000 points bonus or level eleven with five drops and 200000 point bonus.
Klax is simply addictive with lightning reflexes as play gets faster and faster, and wrong decisions become disastrous.

 Amiga Reviews: Klax
In Klax the only objective is to survive as long as possible and score points.
Klax's concept is simple: catch tiles as they approach and flip them into one of five bins to make rows of three or more of the same colour — Klaxes.
Unlike clever dick Phil I have enough problems coping with Diagonal Klax waves without contemplating constructing a Big X Klax, but Klax is immense fun to play with a skill level and learning curve for all types of player.

Klax is an action/puzzle game, the object is to catch assorted color falling tiles and create rows, columns, or diagonals of a single color.
In Klax your primary job is to line up three or more tiles of the same color in rows, diagonals or columns, effectively scoring a Klax.
Set against varying outer space backgrounds, Klax has you controlling a paddle that moves horizontally across five slots positioned in front of a vertical conveyor belt.

Five horizontal tiles are also worth a more than reasonable score as are four vertical - the latter requires a tile to be removed by a Klax and can only result from a chain reaction, or by dropping tiles when a score is being calculated.
You should also be careful to fill in the other spaces with tiles which will not get you any Klaxes as this will cause your setup for the large 'X' to be messed up.
Make use of the pause when a Klax score is being awarded, as you can still move your paddle and drop tiles.

 AGH Lynx Review -- Klax
In Klax, players control a Breakout-esque paddle that can move side-to-side at the bottom of a conveyer belt, down which tumble square tiles of varying colors.
A Klax is accompished in various ways, with each stage indicating before the round the methods in which they can be achieved.
This higher levels in Klax are so fast that it almost becomes an exercise in "Zen," because you'll basically be playing on instinct and reflexes alone.

 Atari Lynx - Klax
Klax is one of the few Lynx games designed to be played with the longer axis of the Lynx held vertically.
In order to excell at KLAX, in addition to improving your reflexes and anticipation, you need to understand the scoring rules.
In building these patterns, you may complete at most ONE KLAX to get rid of "junk"; if you complete 2 KLAXs, the game will not let you drop extra tiles on the paddle after the first, because the 1st tile will complete the level.

Klax is an old game from Commodore 64 and Amiga and this is Domark’s PC version made in 1991 (the original game was made in 1990.
Klax has rather easy rules – collect the bricks that roll from the top screen with a paddle and drop them down in order to form triplets.
As soon as three bricks of same kind are in the same line, whether it’s horizontal, vertical or diagonal line, they will disappear (this is called Klax) and make more space for the new bricks.

Oh well, while we're at it, Klax does indeed bear a remarkable resemblance to Tetris; that Russian game with coloured blocks sliding about all over the place.
You control a Batty-style bat, which sits at the bottom of a conveyor belt.
Well blocks do in fact come in different colours, and the patterns (they're actually called 'Klaxes', but that sounds ridiculous) have to contain blocks that are all the same colour.
