Viduzzles

Viduzzles is a digital jigsaw puzzle game that brings classic puzzle-solving to your television screen. You control the “Viduzzler,” a small character used to select puzzle pieces from the right side of the screen and place them into the correct positions on the left side . The puzzle board can be displayed with or without an outline to adjust difficulty. Before each game, you see the completed image briefly, then the puzzle breaks into pieces and the timer begins. You can choose between 25 or 50 pieces, and the cartridge includes multiple built-in pictures. A counter subtracts each correctly placed piece from the total remaining, and a few notes of music play with each correct placement, culminating in a song when the puzzle is completed .

Commodore 16

Released in 1984 by Commodore Electronics Ltd. , this version of Viduzzles was developed by Camelot Software Planning and distributed on cartridge for the Commodore 16 and Plus/4 . The C16 port preserves the core gameplay of the original C64 version: moving pieces with the Viduzzler cursor, the timed puzzle-solving loop, and the option to toggle outlines. Additional puzzles could be loaded from tape or disk, expanding the game beyond the built-in images . The timer allows you to compete against yourself for the fastest completion time, and puzzle pieces only lock into place when positioned correctly—holding the fire button for over three seconds returns the piece to its original position, preventing brute-force scanning . While the Commodore 16's limited colour palette and TED sound chip result in simpler visuals and audio compared to the SID-powered C64 original, the game remains an accessible and enjoyable puzzle title for younger players and casual audiences .
