Columns (Sega Genesis version)

The presentation is the best part of this dumb game. The visual aesthetic does a lot to justify the gimmick of strict columns, and the music is the sort of abjectly horrible that satisfies a sweet tooth of mine; it sounds like a point-and-click adventure game in which you can die if you pick up a hot plate without wearing gloves. The actual gameplay is boring, lacking much opportunity for player expression while also not doing much to make high-scoring gameplay feel pleasurable to accomplish, so there’s basically no appeal to this for anyone born after 1991.
