A third one? WTF?

First I thought my lights out puzzle was too easy yet it took forever for anyone to solve. Then I thought that my Gas, Electric, Water puzzle was too vague it is was solved right away. And I still don't understand the animal diagram. Do they represent all the different classes of animals? (reptile, marsupial, mammal) Anyway, here's MTC #3 This should be slightly difficult because this is not the only pattern that could represent what I have.

There aren't any reptiles in the animal diagram

Marsupials are mammals, actually.

The unfortunate trick to JA-5 (I think I skipped a number, but whatever), like most of the other diagrams in this thread, is that it's difficult if not impossible to recognize what the diagram means without previously having seen the contents elsewhere... for instance, had I never seen Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, I would not recognize its diagram.

So, in light of that, I've made another diagram that has a similar source type (for instance, poem or video game) as JA-5 which, I feel, virtually everyone in the world should be at least a little familiar with.

Since it's so EASY PEASY, don't post the answer, although non-spoiler comments are okay

Nice diagram. I understood that one. As for MTC#3 should I provide a hint. I thought the five colors (out of seven) were a dead giveaway.

bump. Need a hint?

Hint. This is similar to seeing a picture of a chessboard with one of the kings in checkmate. However, this is a different game.

seeing four unchecked pieces in PENTE. Similar clue.

re. MTC-3, I'd recognize that outdated olive-colored square anywhere...

Endgame of "Acquire", just before Yellow takes over Pink and ends the game

YES! That was as best I could get the colors. I thought everyone knew that game.
