Game Overview

Ever dig through old NES carts and find something weirdly great? Magic Cube is one of those—a bootleg puzzle game that somehow nails that perfect "wait, how is this hour gone?" feeling. You're spinning these chunky blocks to match colors, kinda like if Tetris and a Rubik's Cube had a baby with terrible 8-bit fashion sense. Starts easy, then suddenly you're sweating because the pieces won't stop coming.

The music's got that classic NES earworm quality, all bleeps and bloops you'll hum in the shower. It's janky in that way only unlicensed games are—the title screen's probably misspelled, but who cares when the gameplay hooks you this hard? Not as polished as Nintendo's big-name puzzlers, but there's charm in its rough edges. Found this in a bargain bin years ago and still fire it up when I want something simple but punishing.
