Play Columns III - Revenge of Columns Online

Columns III: Revenge of Columns came out for the Sega Genesis in 1994, developed and published by Sega. It was part of that wave of puzzle games that thrived on the system, offering a straightforward but competitive experience without a lot of the flash or story you saw in other genres at the time.

You control falling groups of three colored gems, rotating and dropping them to form vertical, horizontal, or diagonal lines of three or more matching colors. The main goal is to clear gems before the screen fills up, either in single player or head to head versus matches. Key mechanics include magic items that can disrupt your opponent's screen or help clear your own, and a rising barrier in versus that adds pressure as you play. The pace is quick, and the difficulty ramps up steadily, making every move count. It feels tense and satisfying when you set off a big chain and watch the screen clear.
