What Gem'X is

Gem'X is a puzzle game developed by Kaiko and released in 1990. It was published by Demonware. It is available on Amiga, Atari ST/STE and Commodore C64/128/MAX.

The premise, in the publisher's words

This is a puzzle game that involves tiles of different colours, which must be manipulated to clear a succession of increasingly-difficult levels. You are presented with 2 sets of tiles, and must make the left one identical to the 'control' set on the right. The colours are defined in a sequence - red, green, blue, purple, yellow - and when you click on a tile, that tile's colour moves forward by two in that sequence (for example a blue one becomes yellow), whereas the tiles next to it move by one colour (for example, blue becomes purple).
