Depending on your performance, you win points that are later totaled up at the end of each stage. There are four stages in Black Out!, each one hosting ten rounds to complete and each light bulb grid pattern increases in complexity, which they will prove to be headache-inducing if you don’t know the correct pattern to complete the round. Be warned though, as the game will mock you by attempting to pause it.
Said difficulty setting also alters the number of moves players can do during rounds and time limit so, be prepared and get both a notebook and a pencil near you to write down each pattern, as failing to complete a round will send you to the very first round on the current stage. Each round has a pre-set light bulb pattern and it’s up to you in figuring out the correct pattern to do so before the timer runs out and the game is over, Although there are continues to keep playing, these are also limited depending on the difficulty setting. In Black Out!, players must turn off all light bulbs presented in a 3×3 grid by performing the lowest amount of moves possible to win the round and proceed to the next round. Despite this, Stormworks Interactive remained committed to the system and eventually managed to release their only completed title to date: Black Out! Though obviously inspired by handheld electronic games like Tiger’s Lights Out and Parker Brothers’ Magic Square, it injects its own style and personality that makes it stand out from other games using the same gameplay style. Among them was Stormworks Interactive, a small Austin team from Texas whose first projects such as Arkanna never came to completion.
Some continued being devoted to the platform, developing tools to ease aspiring creators interested to work with the system, while others came and went. Ever since the Atari Jaguar was declared to be an open platform by Hasbro Interactive in 1999, a slew of homebrew developers threw their hat into the Jaguar homebrew ring with multiple projects.
