Overview
Super Columns is a falling-block tile-matching puzzle game developed and published by Sega for the Game Gear in Japan (on May 26, 1995), North America (on June 5, 1995), and Europe (sometime in 1995).
A handheld entry in the Columns series, Super Columns builds on the Game Gear port of the original Columns with a new Versus mode (which can be played in either linked multiplayer or against the computer in a dedicated Story Mode), unique rotation mechanics (where columns can be rotated into a horizontal position), and new block types (such as lanterns, which can clear entire rows, columns, or diagonals when matched). Both Endless and Flash modes from the original are also included.
The game's main story is set in ancient Phoenicia, as the player must make their way through the village to retrieve a stolen mystical amulet from the evil merchant Surhand, who wishes to use the power of the amulet to conquer the lands.
