3 SUPER COLUMNS - ENDLESS EASY 0 SCORE: 69,095

Dear Readers,

I played this game one day while waiting for a bus, but stopped when a friendly dog came looking for attention. He was trying to get me to put in a good word for him to another dog that was in heat. This is about stacking columns though, not dogs.

2 SUPER COLUMNS - STILL CAN'T SUSS STORY MODE

Dear Readers,

I tried another go at Super Columns today. I still can't get past the first level in the story mode! I did get a little better though and good enough to get that special item that flips the gems upside down. Again I'll have to look up the instructions to see what else it does.

I'd like to learn about some way to avoid getting the rubbish columns. They're really messing me up... What I've been able to do so far is hold off on dropping them and hoping maybe they'll disappear before landing. It's the one time I'll be thankful for my disappearing pieces.

1 Super Columns - Head Nor Tail

Dear Readers,

Today I'll talk a bit about Super Columns for the SEGA Game Gear. I played a bit of the story mode and I can't make head nor tail of it.

You play competitively against these characters and the cutscenes you advance by pressing START to go on to the next message in the dialogue boxes, which is kinda strange.

I can't get past the first guy with the purple fez and I find the experience to be really jarring! It's classic Columns but my piece often disappears off the screen due to something my opponent does and just when I'm trying to decide on the best place to put it! I'm finding it hard to get used to this!

Also there are these rubbish columns that I get but he never gets any. Why is that? I'll have to look up the game's original instruction manual and develop some kind of strategy.

So far, what I'm doing isn't working. The best way to go seems to be getting chains and clearing more than three blocks at a time. That pushes the opponent's screen upwards to squash them out. Hope I can get used to it. I even have trouble with the fact that I can rotate my pieces in this game horizontally and I'm always forgetting it!
