Haha, Columns. Oh, Columns. I think everyone who's had a Mega Drive has played a Columns game before. It's basically Sega's Tetris.

Go back in time to a bygone civilization: the ancient world of Phoenicia. There you will play a simple and captivating game where sparkling, rainbow-coloured jewels drop one after another. According to the ancient merchants, by arranging three or more of the same jewels horizontally, vertically or diagonally, you shall perform miracles.

Which is fantastic for the fans of emulation. We can boot it up...

This was the first game I played in the match 3 things the same genre I played and that is pretty much all there is to the game. There is nothing to really give this game longevity and there are so many better alternatives out there now that I wouldn't bother with this one.
