ACE reviewed the Atari ST version in May 1990, by Laurence Scotford, who found that Klax "is not simply a Tetris clone" and "requires more thought and forward planning" than Tetris; the review's box gives graphics 8, IQ factor 5, audio 8, fun factor 9 and an ACE Rating of 880. ACE's August 1990 issue later printed 895 as the rating of the ST version reviewed in issue 32 ("ACE Rating 895").p. 43 (image 43), Klax reviewp. 43 (image 43), Klax reviewp. 43 (image 43), Klax reviewp. 43 (image 43), Klax review, rating boxp. 43 (image 43), Klax review, rating box, read on the page imageMagazine
