    But it gets a little fuzzy with some games, like AirCars and Zero 5 (1997), and Worms (1998) that at least a few people consider the "Last release". If Worms counts, then AirCars and Zero 5 must too.

    Even with that criteria I would exclude AirCars because Zero 5 and Worms were released in complete retail packaging and were readily available. AirCars was only available in a limited quantity by mail order and it came in a shrink-wrapped tray insert. Atari certainly never would have allowed the game to go to retail shelves in that packaging. My contention is that, should you include AirCars, only the original run counts. All subsequent releases were not produced by ICD and weren't necessarily based on the version of the game released by ICD. I have K-A AirCars but I don't feel that it can count as owning AirCars as would be considered part of a complete collection if it is included. Only that limited, rarely sold, and expensive original AirCars would do.

    I define a complete set as all cart and CD games that were available at retail. Personally I consider that to exclude Aircars but some will disagree. I think most would agree that Battlesphere would be considered "aftermarket" as well as any Songbird or other titles that were finished and released after the retail life of the console. I felt that I had to have the Songbird and Telegames (many of which were available at retail) titles. For me the last game that I purchased to "complete" my collection was Braindead 13 in the long box. Braindead 13 is not hard or expensive to get. Getting it in the longbox is another story.

    When you zap a piece that is the same color as you that piece is eliminated as well as any matching pieces behind it. Once your zapper hits a piece that is not the same color as you the color will be traded. If you are green and shoot a blue the piece you zapped becomes green and you become blue. So if you are looking at a whole line of purple and you are green you can find a purple piece to shoot so that you become purple and then you can clear that line. That's pretty much it.
