The object of MindBuster is to guess a secret code consisting of colors. In
the computer version of the game these colors are shown as colored circles.
Officially, scoring is done by means of smaller black and white key pegs.
On the computer, these are represented by small black and white squares.
The standard game has 4 holes and a supply of Red, White, Blue, Green,
Yellow, and Black pegs. Each move is scored, giving feedback on how close
the guess was to the hidden pattern. One can view the game as a struggle
between the Maker of the code and the Breaker of the code. In the solo
version, you try to break the code made by the PC. In the duel form of the
game, the PC also tries to guess your code. The game begins as follows:
(1) The Maker creates a hidden code by choosing colors for the 4 holes.
(2) The Breaker makes a guess by placing 4 colored pegs in the first row.
(3) The Maker then responds with a score. The score can give some clues as
to how close or far a guess is from the hidden pattern.
If the computer is also playing against you, then the roles are reversed for
the next turn, play alternating between steps (2) and (3) until the pattern
is guessed or 10 guesses have been used. The PC’s guess is automatically
scored for you. Repeated colors in patterns and guesses are allowed. Empty
holes are allowed in guesses, but not in hidden patterns.

Another thing that really makes MindBuster! enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to MindBuster!. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
