According to the readme file, the concept of Stoneage was a mixture of Shanghai and Turn It, which is a very good description. As in Shisen-Sho (which Turn It basically is), you have to clear a one-layer field by removing matching tiles. But a pair of tiles can be removed not if they can be connected by a line with only two bends, but if you can slide them off the sides of the board. A nice additional touch is that the tilesets are slightly different on the different levels.

- Motelsoft has an extensive website with as much detail about
their old games as they could still dig out. The site is in German
only and uses frames, but navigation should not be too difficult:
just select
Download Atari
from the JavaScript menu, and click onStoneage
when you're there.
