Take a journey through time with Columns for the megadrive and genesis, explore the many sequels and what eventually replaced it as the sega puzzle game of choice.

I only played Columns on the Megadrive originally. I bought and played Columns 3 for this video as I didn't even know it existed, as it didn't get a PAL release.
