I only ever played the Genesis version, which I enjoy as much as Tetris. I really like the look of the NEC and Sharp X68000 versions from what I can see on here. Good Video.
The Atari 2600 also got a clone of this game called _Acid Drop_ for PAL regions. It was never released outside of PAL regions, but it was a solid effort for Atari's archaic hardware.
Wow, I remember I played Sega Mega Drive version of Columns game. That was a good game for connecting jewels before loading in Sonic the Hedgehog 1-2 game cartridges. :)
Wow... I was surprised the FM towns didn't have a perfect translation. I am still impressed with the Genesis and SEGA CD versions as being most faithful to the arcade... near perfect ports! Still really like that SEGA CD Egyptian intro music!
I only played Columns on the SEGA Game Gear, Master System and Genesis, but I think the Genesis version takes the cake for me! SEGA popularized the game for the console versions.
_Columns_ was a good answer to _Tetris_ and _Dr. Mario_ with its combination of marathon and colour-matching gameplay. Sega made the correct choice securing the rights to it, even if only to compete with Nintendo's puzzle offerings.
The fact that Sega allow this game to be ported to every systems including their competitors system like the PC Engine and Super NES means Sega is more about the availability of this than the exclusivity. They knew this game wouldn't sell on just the Genesis alone. They even bundle a version with the Game Gear and gave free Genesis version to Sega Nomad owners at one point too.
I have Sega CD version and didn't played any other ports. And it's looks like I'm biased toward it. But all of them seems good. If Magic Jewelry counts as bootleg Columns, then it was my "first" Columns game.
The only one I ever played or even knew about was the one featured on Galaxy of Games for Windows 98. Hearing the sounds makes ne think it was fairly faithful, but it's been so many years I can't say for sure
The Master System version really could have been better graphically, especially knowing how simple the game was. It could have looked at least as good as the Sharp PC-9801 version. Nowadays, a more arcade-like remake of Columns exists for the Master System, called Gemitas, which would easily fit on a 1-megabit cartridge. I prefer the sound of the PC Engine version for some reason, and really wanna get it to play on an Analogue Pocket or a PC Engine Duo sometime.
The original arcade to Genesis seems pretty close. Not that Columns is all that technically impressive. But I think my favorite looking is the NEC PC 9801 version.
Arcade version is not "the original". Columns began its life as a public domain game on Atari ST. Retrosutra actually got it right with the chronological order of various versions.
Best versions of Columns were Sega Master System and GameGear. On gamegear in particular had fun times and almost broke the game; achieve a high score that could not be expressed on the screen; this takes some luck and is not repeatable every play through. Blocks are falling so fast there is no time to think. As he says in Topgun, don't think just do.
¿Por qué Caillou es calvo? Caillou es una serie de televisión canadiense basados en un libro infantil ilustrado. Desde hace años, circula en internet una leyenda urbana que asegura que Caillou tiene cáncer, y que por eso sus padres le permiten hacer todo lo que quiere. Pero eso no es todo. También se dice que Caillou está muerto. Eso explicaría porque al principio de cada episodio sale una mujer (supuestamente su madre) abriendo un álbum de fotos de Caillou. La serie narra las vivencias de un niño de cuatro años explorando el pequeño mundo que lo rodea. Pero, los más observadores se preguntan por qué Caillou, un niño de cuatro años, no tiene pelo.

To tell the truth I always thought Sega developed the game. I would have taken those earlier versions for bootleg ports.
Me too

There is a bootleg NES port known as "Magic Jewelry" by Hwang Shinwei in 1990.

Arcade/Mega Tech/Mega Drive, i consider essentially all the same version/port.

The snes one was a bootleg but idk abt the pce
@@YetAnotherSADXFan SNES was a japan-exclusive port available through "Nintendo Power" (a japanese cart-flashing service).
Tetris or Columns. I just can't decide. Both are holy grails.

Me too! The title screen music alone made it the best!!!
I didn't know there was a PS2 remaster. Awesome.
Me correo mucho viendo esta obra maestra, gracias!!
me correo electronico yo tmb
so seems like sega learned from the license issue of tetris at the time
There must not be many players who managed to finish this game. But it's still a great classic that changes Tetris.

I mostly played the Master System version then, I really adored this game ! Not the best version graphically but the 2 player mode was awesome !

My 1st intro to Columns was GG version so its my fave then the Gen/MD version, surprising its only 1 Megabit i think
Always find myself playing a quick game of Columns “flash”
I love columns, its a nice relaxing game. Love it on all systems. Why is the ST version monochrome?. makes zero sense.
It runs in a high resolution graphic mode. A few other games on the system support it, I believe Millipede is one of them.
@@diskyboy86 Millipede is a great game, but the ST version could have been so much better.
i'm here to hear different renditions of Clotho

@@NemanjaVuj I understand that, I worded my comment poorly.

Picolumns, a pico 8 port, is very cool ( but not official ).

I love this game!
I think you should've reduced the screen resolution to play Columns on the Mac.
It started on PC? I always thought of it as a SEGA thing
Me too...never thought it started as an amateur project (pd)
