For some reason, i like this version way more than the mega-drive one. Maybe its because of the music or extra space to make moves.

When I was 13 I would have argued that Columns is a better puzzle game than Tetris.

I was wrong, but that doesn't mean Columns is a bad game at all. Another take on the "match 3" elimination style puzzle as your pieces come falling from the sky, Columns is absolutely a rewarding and addictive experience.
