#5. Spin Jam
- Release Data: Empire Interactive, 2000
- Genre: Puzzle » Matching
Spin Jam is definitely a cool game. It’s odd, but loads of fun.
This game will keep anyone coming back, even though it’s obvious that it is made for kids.

#4. Bust-A-Move ’99
- Release Data: Aisystem Tokyo/Acclaim, 1999
- Genre: Puzzle » Matching
Like its predecessor, Bust-A-Move ’99 is an excellent puzzle game that will keep you entertained for ages.
It’s got everything Bust-A-Move fans could ask for—a plethora of premade puzzles, a puzzle creator and even the first four-player mode in the series.
Unfortunately, as well-balanced and addictive as the gameplay is, the graphics and sound are terribly outdated.
#3. Devil Dice
- Release Data: Shift/SCEI, 1998
- Genre: Puzzle » Matching
An extremely unique idea which has been handled with care and skill, Devil Dice is a great representation of the kind of quirky game that flourished on PS1 and is still fun and relevant today.
It might not be something that will give you weeks of gameplay, but it’s safe to say there’s a really enjoyable time here.
#2. Bust-A-Move 4
- Release Data: Taito Corporation/D3Publisher, 1998
- Genre: Puzzle » Matching
The single-player game has enough characters to achieve a high volume of replay, and for puzzle battles, the multiplayer mode stands among one of the best.
Bust-A-Move 4 will be the type of game you play with your non-gaming friends, because it’s got so much character and because puzzle games are always respectable.
#1. Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
- Release Data: Capcom/Virgin Interactive, 1996
