This is the very first puzzle game I have played, & it is very fun. If you are a fan of puzzle games, & if you own a Sega Genesis, you really should consider getting this game.

While most puzzle games are easy to pick up, hard to master, this game just is hard, period. Definitly the most obscure in terms of gameplay, Columns is much harder to master than Tetris. However though, it still may be a hard game, but it's very enjoyable.
Don't mark this as a Tertis ripoff. While it's very hard to knock of a game as just a Tetris Clone, from Lumines (NOT a Tetris Clone, bull****), but this game is different. Just because a game has blocks dosen't mean it's a Tertis Clone. I would also like to point out how people can just label these things that. Insead of a whole line, you must match three blocks of the same type in a row up down or diagonally. They get deleted, and that's abhout it. It's much harder because it's harder just to get three in a row, and since you cannot move the lbocks in any shape (you can change the color, but they remain upright). The game takes more time to learn, and it's not quite the killer app Tetris was, but it's fun, stylish (the play area sure looked better than the Tetris field, that's for sure), and suprisingly addicting. It's a game that any puzzle fan should check out.
YOu can find this game anywhere these days, but mostly in copies like Bejeweled. If you can find this game, get it, as it will keep you quite entertained especially if you are a puzzle fan. Just buy the game, it will entertain you. Like the black sheep, it dosen't exactly fit in thanks to it's abnoraml style (if you are a newbie, you might understand), but it's a great but overlooked game. Check it out.
