Nice Diamont

Why We Picked Nice Diamont

Nice Diamont is short because it was designed to take a coin, not an evening. It is a museum piece that still plays. The challenge is fixed rather than adaptive, so improvement is measurable and entirely yours. Short, strict and free of padding, these games survive the comparison with their own reputation. For reference: 417 of 500 on the arcade shelf, 5.0 out of 5 from 8 ratings, and 316 plays.

How to Play

What you actually do, in order:

• Fullscreen removes the site header, which gives the game more vertical room on a laptop.
• Gather what the level asks for without falling into the gaps that guard it.
• Mute nothing until you have heard the warning cues at least once.

Editor’s Note

One screen, one score, and a difficulty curve from 1985. Expect to lose early. There is rarely a difficulty curve: these games start at their own level and stay there. It does not try to be more than a browser game, and that restraint is why it works.
