I had a dream last week, I think it might have been Wednesday or Thursday, but I digress...wouldn't Columns have been a serious contender for Tetris if you could rotate your blocks vertically and horizontally???...but that wasn't a dream my friends, that came in form of Super Columns for the Game Gear. 1995 was a little too late to make any impact perhaps I guess. A MS version would have been a dream though, but maybe it's a dream only envisaged by me and not by you...
I have many dreams to share...
Thank you for your time...

Played Super Columns recently for the first time. And I didn't actually like the rotation strange enough I never used it and just played it the regular way

I think columns is a good game in its own right,to be honest Tetris is okay but i can play Columns for longer,what about you guys-which do you get board of first?

Honestly I tried Columns a few years ago and it´s okay, but it speeds up too fast during the game. I like Tetris much more, but only in combination with Dr. Mario (I´m talking about the famous mixed match mode)

Neither gets old, but Tetris seems a bit more varied. Flash mode on Columns isn't as fun as "B-mode" on Tetris. So I guess i prefer Tetris. And for anybody who wants to play Tetris but doesn't want to play anything else than SEGA 8-bit there is always this game: segaretro.org/FA_Tetris

Columns was the first SEGA game I ever owned, since I had an NES growing up and my parents got me a Game Gear for all the summer traveling we'd be doing. For many months I was hooked on that game, and used to always hold it in higher esteem than Tetris. I like the simplicity of it, not having to worry about shapes but instead colors. That's how SEGA marketed it at the time, too, highlighting it as a portable puzzle game with colors, something the Game Boy could not offer. I've never played Super Columns, but I don't think I want to. Sometimes simplicity is a virtue, and that's a big reason why I keep returning to my Master System library year after year.
