Rubik's Slide | Techno Source

For the last 30 years, Rubik's Cube has become an international phenomenon and pop culture icon, stumping over 350 million people. To up the ante for Rubik's anniversary, Techno Source is introducing a new highly anticipated and highly addicting (we tried it out) game called Rubik's Slide. Featuring over 10,000 brain-busting puzzles, Rubik's Slide has multiple difficulty levels, light and sound effects with built-in memory. Simply slide and twist the top panels to match the correct pattern of lights, which — believe it or not — can be even more intense than the original version.
