ColorJunction - a variation on the Japanese classic Chain Shot

ColorJunction (AKA SameGame, Bubblet, or Jawbreaker) is a puzzle game originally invented as "Chain Shot" in 1985 by Kuniaki Moribe (Morisuke). The game was distributed for Fujitsu FM-8/7 in a Japanese monthly computer magazine called Gekkan ASCII. In 1992, the game was redistributed under the name "Same Game" for the UNIX platforms by Eiji Fukumoto (Kyoto), followed by a NEC PC-9801 version by Wataru Yoshioka (W. Yossy). This version became popular in Japan and was quickly ported to various platforms including Palm OS and Windows Mobile 2003.

SAME GAME is pronounced "sah-meh-gah-meh" with all short vowels as customary in Japanese.
