In this case, it’s a Russian MS-DOS puzzler named Drop-Drop, which released in 1992.ĭrop-Drop is immediately recognisable as what would become Magical Drop through its basic mechanics of grabbing coloured objects and attempting to create columns of them, but there are a few notable differences.

So let’s kick off, shall we? Drop-Drop (1992)

So in lieu of being able to talk too much more about the upcoming new game, I thought we’d take a brief look back at the history of the mainline installments in the series - including where it came from in the first place. There’s also a mode called “Path of Destiny”, but this hasn’t been explained as yet. It seems there will be a variety of game modes on offer, including a timed caravan mode, a puzzle mode and a story mode as well as the main versus option. Highball Games is a French developer whose English language option doesn’t work on their website, while Storm Trident is a Polish outfit whose previous titles include dinosaur-themed platformer Tiny Hands Adventure and tower defence title Assault on Metaltron, both of which are relatively little-known but fairly well-regarded indie titles for PC.ĭetails on the new game are relatively thin on the ground at the moment, but the new trailer shows that the game features a high-definition anime-inspired art style with animated characters, The World’s titties present and correct, and Empress still being everyone’s favourite bondage queen. The new game is the work of publisher Forever Entertainment and developers Highball Games and Storm Trident, both of whom are subsidiaries of Forever.
