Turnabout
PlayStation · 2004
About this game
In this game, the player is presented with a series of one hundred puzzles containing colored balls, colored target blocks and various obstacles, some static and some capable of movement.
Whenever two or more objects of the same color come into contact with each other, they disappear, and the object is to eliminate all of the colored balls and target blocks.

The trick to the game is that none of the pieces can be moved directly; the player's only options are to rotate the entire playing field either left or right ninety degrees and let gravity do the rest.
As a bonus, the game includes an editor which allows the player to create up to fifty additional levels to challenge friends with.
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks Turnabout for PlayStation 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 Turnabout 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 PS1 release dates back to 2004.
