From BoardGameGeek

It's 1995...you've got a paper due first thing in the morning and your trusty computer has chosen tonight to slow to a crawl. You reboot, you task kill, you pet the monitor gently, no dice. You're filled with dread as you realize you have only one option left. That's right. Clear your schedule, baby, it's time to D-D-D-DEFRAG! Defrag is a hand management grid puzzle game in which you are attempting to rearrange and consolidate various file fragments before exhausting your resources. Defrag has several solo and multiplayer game modes, including a series of increasingly difficult challenges with unique goals.
