Tiles of Fate
Nintendo Entertainment System · 1990
About this game
In Tiles Of Fate the object of the game is to clear the screen of all the tiles within the given time limit.
This is done by selecting two tiles with matching symbols which will cause them to disappear due to the force of symmetry.

However, the force of symmetry can only make two right angles at most, and can not pass through other tiles.
To clear all the tiles, you will need to plan your moves carefully.
To help out, you may discover one of three forces of fate under a tile which can be saved and used when you're stuck.
The forces are The Flash of Chance (allows symmetry to affect any matching tiles on the board, even those surrounded by other tiles), The Force of Balance (will eliminate brick walls that block the path of symmetry) and The Flag of Knowledge (this will make your next move for you in case you can't spot what the best move is.) Also included is a level editor which lets you create your own tile challenges.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Tiles of Fate for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Tiles of Fate to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1990.
