#5. Wetrix
- Release Data: Zed Two Limited/Imagineer, 1998
- Genre: Puzzle » General
Wetrix is another hiqh quality puzzle game that can proudly stand next to its N64 competition, Tetrisphere and Bust-A-Move.
It is an addictive waste of time for one player and shows that there is still room for innovation and originality in the puzzle genre.
#4. Bust-A-Move 2 Arcade Edition
- Release Data: Probe Entertainment Limited/Acclaim, 1998
- Genre: Puzzle » Matching
Bust-A-Move 2 perfectly shows again: It’s not all about graphics and sound—gameplay makes a good puzzle game.
Bust-A-Move remains one of the most addictive puzzlers since Tetris and if you at all care about puzzlers (and are willing to sacrifice many, many hours of your life), get it now!
#3. The New Tetris
- Release Data: H2O Interactive/Nintendo, 1999
- Genre: Puzzle » Stacking
Marathon mode is your standard never-ending Tetris game, while ultra mode ends at 150 lines. Sprint mode puts a countdown on and whoever clears the most lines wins.
Finally, the multiplayer mode is where this game pays off, specifically the three and four player games.
#2. Pokemon Puzzle League
- Release Data: Nintendo, 2000
- Genre: Puzzle » Matching
Pokemon Puzzle League is another block puzzler, but here the blocks slowly rise up from the bottom of the screen.
Overall, Pokemon Puzzle League is really just Panel de Pon/Tetris Attack with a Pokemon makeover.
That’s not bad though, because it’s still the same game, and it still rocks.
#1. Tetrisphere
- Release Data: H2O Interactive/Nintendo, 1997
- Genre: Puzzle » Stacking
Tetrisphere is a fun puzzler that almost anybody can quickly take a liking to.
The game’s fast pace, strategy and 3D levels add up for loads of fun that players will surely appreciate.
Puzzler fanatics, however, may want to steer clear of this game for fear of permanent addiction.
