Game Overview

Puyo Puyo is that weirdly addictive blob-matching puzzle game from Japan—the one that eventually spawned all those sequels and spin-offs. You stack these little jelly-like blobs (Puyos) that stick together when they land, trying to line up four of the same color to make them vanish. Sounds simple, but then the screen starts filling up, and suddenly you're sweating over whether that green Puyo should go left or right.

This NES version is the original, so it's barebones compared to later ones—no fancy animations or extra modes, just you versus the AI or a friend. The controls are stiff at first, but once you get the hang of dropping Puyos fast, it's hard to stop. The music’s got that classic 8-bit charm, too—catchy in a slightly repetitive way.

If you like Tetris but want something with a little more chaos, this is a solid pick.
