Squarez Deluxe! is a puzzle game similar to Tetris. Various shapes appear and can be moved with the mouse and placed on the playing field. When a 3x3 or larger grouping is created, it disappears and the player scores points. The game is over once the player can no longer place a new piece on the board.

Gameplay of both versions is identical: you are the main character (Moses or Joshua, respectively) and you must collect all the bags with M on them (Joshua: coins with $ on them) scattered throughout each maze. A and C shoot; you can hold them down for rapidfire. Shooting destroys blockades and enemies. Once all the M bags are gathered, find the
Puzzle & Action: Tant-R is a Sega System C puzzle game developed and published by Sega. It is the first in Puzzle & Action series, and has subsequently been ported to the Sega Mega Drive and Sega Game Gear.

Tant-R was also paired with Quiz Shukudai wo Wasuremashita for a compilation on the Sega Saturn. A spinoff Saturn game – Sega Ages Vol.1 Shukudai ga Tant-R – was also made.
