A family legend is that while my mother was home one morning in early 1995, she played Columns and couldn't tear herself away. When my father came home from work that night, she was still playing with a maxed-out score -- a fact pointed out by my dad that finally got her to put down the controller. This music reminds me so much of playing this game with her as a boy.
One of my late mom's favorite games, she was really an expert, God knows how many levels she has passed. I remember I woke up on midnight, she was playing the game by herself. We got a very bad financial issue back then, my mom ran a family business. Perhaps this game was her only escape. If only I knew back then how hard it is to grow up and taking care a family, now I know.
Columns has a few songs that are the best on the system! Maybe not in terms of killer beats but they have a ton of depth and sound very three dimensional (if that even makes sense). Very fitting to the game and memorable!
I have no idea why this OST got stuck in my head today but thank god you uploaded all of these. When my mom got me my first Sega it came with this game and played it so much. I would get mad at my cousin when he would say its a rip off of Tetris lol I always thought it was different and more fun imo. Thanks for the upload
Gosh I love this ... Ah good ol times .. the perfect soundtrack for sorting out your closet, the freezer, ya clothes, everything... The perfect cleaning soundtrack
For the Sister of the Fates who decides how each human will die, Atropos’ theme is very jaunty and fun. I’m pretty sure she was the one Sister of Fate who couldn’t be bargained with.
Damn man, so many memories rushing in with the song. Back in the 90s I used to play this game in a small room with a small tv on a 6in1 cart and the music, even back then blew my mind to pieces. Somewhat still the melody feels kinda sad which I never figured out why :D
Clotho is the best of the Columns themes. To be honest, I never cared much for Columns. It wasn't addictive like Tetris. It wasn't competitive like Puyo Puyo or Tetris Attack. It wasn't quirky like Dr. Mario or Yoshi Cookie. And it certainly didn't have much of a story. But Clotho... still haunts me in my dreams.
I wish I knew the amount of hours I sank into this game as a kid. I had the game for a little while before I decided to play it one day. I was sold immediately. The music and gameplay seemed to put me into a trance.
When my mother bought me a Game Gear back in 1992-3, she ended up "borrowing" it to play Columns for like 2 hours before finally giving it to me. Judging by the comments, I see that there is something about puzzle games that attracts mothers.
This was my first video game, at four years old. I never thought about the Greek influence obviously, but now it's clear. Even those women sprinkling the coloured pieces onto the board.
Even tho I was 5 years old the music in this game is very memorable. I played when I got older when I was 8 and watching the gems get faster and faster was amazing. Especially when that white multi color block falls and makes the same color disappear at the same time.
Playing Atropos on .75 speed reminds me of the pace it plays when selecting a game from the six game cartridge I have. I always preferred it a tad slower too.

wow underated coment
Thanks for sharing bro. Good story!
Same memory except minus the dad to stop her, so instead it would be 2-3 day marathons and she'd pause it for hours when something needed done.
Liar
Beautiful story my man
Seems like from the comments, a lot of moms were playing columns, like its an universal thing no matter the country, kinda wholesome if you ask me.

You had two mum's?
To this day this music still gives me chills. Something so mesmerizing about it
This piece of music reminds me of my mom. She use to play this - dr mario 64 - tetris all the time.
Great memories
Yeah same here. My mom used to play this game a lot when i was little kid. Now she only play candy crush 😂😂
bless u and her

@@InerciaAmplificadadisrespectful question to ask
I love these songs, playing this as a child, memories 2021
I'm with you brother
@@jaylenney im also with you... 2021
Me too!
Yeah good times
Old school.
my grandfather used to play this game all day but he passed away and i still remember this music
ok, now I feel really old... I still play it.
Sorry to hear that.
Definition of a nostalgia hit for me.
I heard Clotho theme after from much years later I must say:
*I CRYING FOR THIS NOSTALGIC MASTERPIECE 😢*

I feel like this will stand the test of time. Like the columns from ancient temples that you can still admire.
Gosh I love this ... Ah good ol times .. the perfect soundtrack for sorting out your closet, the freezer, ya clothes, everything... The perfect cleaning soundtrack
If you close your eyes, its like not a day has passed
THese are the three goddes... 0:32 Clotho, 4:44 Lathesis and 6:40 Atropos...these three...oh sega! Good job! Good job!
For the Sister of the Fates who decides how each human will die, Atropos’ theme is very jaunty and fun. I’m pretty sure she was the one Sister of Fate who couldn’t be bargained with.
@@bombfog1 I think so too. She was known for cutting the hair of the gods and cutting the strings of fate
Oh my god im 37 in july i had this on my mega collection 3 in 1 cartridge the music takes me right back to my mums living room jesus! 😄
yooo i still have the same cartridge from when i was a kid.
Clotho
Christ! That first few notes of "Clotho" shook some memory neurones that hadn't been active in a while!👍
I love these comments. The reminiscing of friends, family, and childhoods made me a little emotional 🥲
This game was such a big part of my childhood foray into gaming. Thanks so much for uploading this.
Damn man, so many memories rushing in with the song.
Back in the 90s I used to play this game in a small room with a small tv on a 6in1 cart and the music, even back then blew my mind to pieces.

I’ll never forget this music
Atropos
I haven’t heard that song in such a long time. it was the menu music on the 6 pak cart! instantly transported me back to childhood
Same here! I actually prefer this sound as well.
My dad loves this game (and he used to beat me every time :P)
My dad loves it too, the only game he will ever play really.
your dad must be the coolest dad in the block
My dad too. In fact he came with this game as "a present" for me. I guess it was a self gift in disguise xD
For a second I thought you meant that he assaulted you ffs
Clotho is the best of the Columns themes.
To be honest, I never cared much for Columns.
It wasn't addictive like Tetris.
It wasn't competitive like Puyo Puyo or Tetris Attack.
It wasn't quirky like Dr. Mario or Yoshi Cookie.
And it certainly didn't have much of a story.
But Clotho... still haunts me in my dreams.
Clotho music reminds me the rise and fall of epic hero
This game for me is a masterpiece. what a good memories so many hours of fun gives such a simple game. epic classical music.
I played this game in a friends house when I was 7 not many times, maybe 5, and I still remember the melody of Clotho.
Amo demais a trilha sonora deste jogo!
tambien amo la de tetris de family games
Back to my childhood.
I'm gonna cry.
Atropos is my fave! Oh, how crazy hearing it makes me!
Oh man, I used to play this game alot as a kid on the Sega Channel. God those were good times.
This song was always my favorite
Considering a game made before Sonic the Hedgehog, this music is very good for Genesis, and I enjoy this game for that alone.
Quelle merveille
Essas músicas são incríveis me rementem a minha infânciacom 6 7 anos vendo meu primo jogar ...
The music in this is top tier. 🎩 🪄🎉
I wana cry 💔
I wish I knew the amount of hours I sank into this game as a kid. I had the game for a little while before I decided to play it one day. I was sold immediately. The music and gameplay seemed to put me into a trance.
A most simple, and yet a most addictive game.
Columns, my beloved
we used to play this for hours at my grandmas, so good, and thank you
OOF right in the childhood
Used to play this with my pops. Good times.
Oh my god!! I can’t even put into words how this makes me feel. I remember watching my NAN play this for hours, she was gangster at this!

Lo mejor de lo mejor, muchas gracias por compartirlo. Saludos desde la Provincia de Salta, Argentina.
This was my first video game, at four years old. I never thought about the Greek influence obviously, but now it's clear. Even those women sprinkling the coloured pieces onto the board.
80th and 90th years were the best.
Magic childhood moment
OMG!! Childhood
Oney was right this does sound like that one boss fight in Wind Waker
I just came from that video to listen to this
actually its the last boss fight from strider, zoomy
These are memories
Me and my older cousins playing SEGA Columns All night until it was time to go to ValleyFair the next morning!
ok, i see i'm not the only one crying with this music
good old days
Even tho I was 5 years old the music in this game is very memorable. I played when I got older when I was 8 and watching the gems get faster and faster was amazing. Especially when that white multi color block falls and makes the same color disappear at the same time.
My childhood. Snif. 😭😭😭
souvenirs 🥺
Generation 86 present, a great game.
beautiful
Good Old Sega Time of the Megadrive.
Columns Clotho song is the exact same song from Interstellar Dock Sequence!!!! Anybody else notice this?!
Can't believe how many mom comments are here for this game! My mom played everyday after work to wind down in 97-98.
My mom loved this game and the music.
This game is a certified mom classic
I love Clotho
The trick is to start Clotho on normal, then go to 1.25 speed and then up to 1.5 speed. If youve played youll understand
...
Remember getting stoned while playing this and making up retarded lyrics to these with friends. Was a good time lol
This game is worthy to have about 20 musics. I don't know why only few ones
Thanks for upload
Clotho is a fucking MASTERPIECE
I love that art. (The 2 angels playing).
I played this in the 90’s and I forgot about the intense part of a Clothos. I always attributed just the calm beginning.
Amazing track.
Angeles en el universo jugando con polvo de estrellas.
Playing Atropos on .75 speed reminds me of the pace it plays when selecting a game from the six game cartridge I have. I always preferred it a tad slower too.
Clotho remember a old and abandoned church
Clotho slays
Does anyone else hear the J.S. Bach Influence in this great work?
I swear I remember this game playing Metallica's bass solo, anesthesia - pulling teeth, from the kill em all album.
I would play this alone and meditate no internet just real people swapping games .
this is a fucking masterpiece!
Darkness,loneliness,sadness, all in this tone
There must not be many players who managed to finish this game. But it's still a great classic that changes Tetris.
The God's made this game I'm sure of it just the music alone captivates me.
いい夢みえそうです
やっと出会えた…ありがとう
This is the Mum/Mom Theme tune
Still love the music to this day
Unpopular opinion, but this was way better than Tetris. At least for me, it was.
I've played both and I agree with you !
I agree 100%
..this music freaked me out
Did anybody else shed a tear?
we have a Sega all games thingy for our ps3 at home, and my dad forces me to play this w him 🌝🤞
1.5 Speed tho
Best tetris
This is like the tool of genesis
3:43 - Here is what I came for.
Muito bom
The only Sega game with a sound track from Tudor times ...
