Tufty McTavish

I suffer this exact same problem, and had exactly the same issue with the TT training mission. In the end I had to learn how to recognise the spin on the ball, not from the coloured arrow symbols, but from the reaction of the ball. I recall that the first 4 balls or so always came out in the same order, so it was just a matter of getting the final 6 in the right order. I could always recognise the blue so that helped too, but the others I learned to recognise and eventually completed the training mission thing in good order.

I also cannot play Hexic for the same reasons mentioned above. Without the extra symbols added some of the colours are utterly indistinguishable for me. A friend played it for a bit, but beyond that I haven't touched it at all.

It's really annoying having people ask "What's this colour?" "What's that colour?" "You eejit, what do you mean yellow? It's GREEN!"
