The first vaguely Tetris-esque game I played was Dr. Mario for the NES. I think we bought it because of the "Mario" as I am a huge Mario fan then and now

Then we got the real Tetris and I thought that the aim was to match block colours like in Dr. Mario

I recall bust a move was the first puzzle game I had (PC) then at a later time I of course got tetris but... it never caught on until like, a few weeks ago. I had pokemon puzzle league for the N64 at one point to. It was a kick as game to say the least.

	Originally posted by midori no kaze Also, question: do any one know of a good PC version of it? This one is kinda bad and laggy. MAME is probably your best bet. Nothing beats the arcade originals. I have a PC port of Puzzle Bobble 4 somewhere, and as I recall it was pretty decent (though it's definitely not my favorite entry in the series). ____________________

My first puzzle game was Columns on the Sega Master System, and later the Genesis, around 1991. I really was addicted to that game, and I eventually discovered other games, like Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (Puyo Puyo), and Tetris for the Mac. =D

I'd have to say that my favorite puzzle games will probably always be Tetris and Columns, two really good games that I still play every once in a while...

The only puzzle games I really owned back then was Tetris Attack and Kirby's Avalanche, but I played Dr. Mario, Tetris, and Bust-a-Move.

Methinks you need to practice a bit, unless you weren't trying very hard.

The only puzzle game I apparently ever really enjoyed was Wario's Woods, the SNES version.

I have no idea why, but I played the hell out of that game.

Why not just play both?

Tetris has helped me to pack and move better, so I can't hate it.

I am very happy. This is a lie.

This.

And Kira Kira Kids when I found about it. But that happened five years ago so it doesn't count.

I was a pretty big Puyo Puyo guy myself when I was a kid. (Or back then. Dr. Robotnick's mean bean machine. Which was inferior to PP2)

I'm okay in it. Probably better now in Puyo Puyo than I was at Tetris Attack in my prime.

I wasn't one of those that was unbeatable or anything but myself an Ace were pretty well tied at our best around 30-35K in Time Trial.

I started with Tengen Tetris, and later Nintendo Tetris, when they were new

Out of the other puzzle games, I've probably played Tetris Attack the most, but there aren't too many I played much

I never played Tetris when I was growing up because I sucked at it. Simple as that.
Now Tetris Attack is a different story...
Also, later on (around 13-14) I got Animal Crossing and eventually came across Wario's Woods. I love that fucking game.

Fuck yeah, bust a move! >:3

Also, question: do any one know of a good PC version of it?
This one is kinda bad and laggy.

Try But-A-Move 3 DX or is it just Bust-A-Move DX? Anyway look for one of those on the N64 or you could get the Wii one.

If you mean Bust-A-Move Plus! on WiiWare, okay. If you mean Bust-A-Move Bash! on disc,
NO

I love Puyo Puyo sun. I highly recommend downloading the game from the link above; even if you are not a tetris player.

PPS is one of the most balanced gameplay ever. Now the latest version sure does rival it and everything. But I still like sun the most.

PP7 is flat out insane. I wouldn't recommend Fever or above for newcomers...most will just turn it away at the extend of which the CPU will absolutely hammer them.

I will say that a good start is Super Puyo Puyo 2 on the SFC. Puyo 2 Remix if they're feeling a little risky and want to take on the hell that is Special Mode.
