Columns

Developer: Sega

Columns drops falling columns of three jewels into a vertical well; you rotate the order to line up matches of three or more horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Simple to learn but deep to master, the Master System version retains crisp sprites, catchy music and quick escalation of speed that makes every playthrough a tense puzzle sprint. Chain reactions and careful planning reward patient players, while frantic reflexes save you from an ever-rising stack. Ideal for short, competitive high-score sessions, Columns blends relaxing charm with addictive challenge — a compact, timeless puzzle experience on the Master System.
