Synopsis:

Your goal in Block'Em Sock'Em is to control John Hancock through 25 different levels to destroy boxes of the same color. Your aim is to get the block counter below the goal number with a limited number of tosses. If you toss a colored block and it hits another color, then your block will change to that color.

I downloaded this one.  It's fun, but pretty difficult.  Also, due to the limitations of the emulator the VCS version is limited to TIA sound.  If you've heard the Yamaha version, you know what we're missing.  Still, not bad considering $8.99.

I have this game in more than one version and, yes, I agree this is not an easy game.  In fact, lives the mantra "easy to learn, hard to master" very well.
