Brand: Sega Of America, Inc. EAN: 0010086017014 ESRB Age Rating: Everyone Feature: The game takes place inside a tall well-shaped playing area, as in Tetris. Columns of three different symbols (such as differently-colored jewels) appear, one at a time, at the top of the well and fall to the bottom, landing either on the floor or on top of previously-fallen columns. Whilst a column is falling, the player can move it left and right, and can also cycle the positions of the symbols within it. If, after a column has fallen, there are three or more of the same symbols connected in a straight line horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, those symbols disappear. The pile of columns then settles under gravity. If this causes three or more other symbols to become aligned, they also disappear and the pile settles again. This process repeats as many times as necessary. It is not uncommon for this to happen three or four times in a row - it often happens by accident when the well is becoming crowded. Occasionally, a special column called the Magic Jewel appears. The Magic Jewel flashes with different colors and when it lands, it destroys all the jewels with the same color as the one underneath it. Like Tetris, the columns fall at a faster rate as the player progresses. The goal of the game is to play for as long as possible before the well fills up with symbols. Label: Sega Of America, Inc.

 Rating: - The black sheep of the puzzle gamesWhile 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 ... Read More Rating: - A Must BuyThis 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. |
