Sudoku comes to GameBoy Advance

Sudoku is a wee numbers game that millions waste their time playing in the belief it stirs up the brain cells. You'll find it in the newspaper next to the crossword.

The Game Boy version, says the publisher, will feature hundreds of puzzle problems, a tutorial mode, help for when you're really stuck, and the ability to 'pencil in' possible solutions, plus a puzzle problem creation mode.

"Parents will be fighting their kids to get the Game Boy," reckons Bill Swartz, top dog at Mastiff. "Sudoku fever is sweeping the country (US) and the fiendishly addictive puzzle game play is perfect for Game Boy Advance. On Game Boy Advance we offer everything there is in the paper version, more volume than in any book, and a help system. The best of two worlds," he reckons.

We can't help thnking they've chosen the wrong platform, however. µ
