Pairs (V1.2, 09/30/94) — About this game

Pairs (V1.2, 09/30/94) turns a covered picture into a memory problem played on a grid of cards. Selecting two matching values removes them and reveals the area beneath, while a mismatch turns them face down again and costs a heart. Correct matches restore a chance and add time, so remembering an earlier failed choice can protect both resources. A Joker changes the next selection into a wider clear by removing the remaining cards of that value.
