As you may have guessed, I'm a huge fan of the game. It's hard to find good ports that are still in circulation, (Klax 3d is a Flash version which is just barely able to be called Klax), and so I'm working on a collection of valid Klax downloads.
PC [x86] - Download Klax
Below are various ports that jave been made.
- The Atari 2600 version of Klax was the last game ever officially released for the 2600 system.
- The Atari Lynx
- Klax was the first game with versions for all three of 1990's leading consoles, the Nintendo Entertainment System, the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and the TurboGrafx-16.
- Klax was included in Arcade Party Pak for the PlayStation. The game was also reissued in Midway Arcade Treasures, a 2003 compilation for the Nintendo GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC.
- MAME emulates several arcade versions of Klax, including a prototype.
- In Japan, the Mega Drive version was released by Namco, while the Game Boy and Famicom versions were released by Hudson Soft.
