Play Columns III Online – SEGA Genesis Game

Game Overview

"Columns III: Revenge of the Gems" is SEGA’s slick, underrated twist on the classic match-three puzzle genre, blending the addictive simplicity of Tetris with a dash of arcade flair. Picture this: dazzling gemstones rain down, and it’s your job to line up three or more of the same color—horizontally, vertically, or diagonally—to make them vanish in a satisfying burst. But here’s the kicker: Columns III spices things up with new modes like "Flash" (a high-speed survival test) and "Puzzle" (brain-teasing challenges), plus a quirky two-player duel where you can sabotage your opponent with cascading chaos.

If you grew up with the Genesis, this one’s a nostalgia bomb—it’s the polished, faster, and flashier sequel that never got the spotlight it deserved. While it keeps the core charm of the original Columns, the added depth and vibrant visuals make it feel like the ultimate version for puzzle purists. Whether you’re chasing high scores or just craving some retro vibes, Columns III is a hidden gem (pun intended) that’s way more fun than it has any right to be.
