Apparently Little Magic derived from this one puzzle game that has a million variations. Hobie-Wan told me about it, but I forget the name of the game.


This is the type of thing I absolutely adore about videogames. Now I've got the overwhelming urge to go wiki all the info I can on these games, then find them, and play the shit out of them.

Please, someone go get Hobie to come in here and tell us what game this is. I must know.


Also, is there a Together Retro on Tetris Attack? Because there should be...

Puzzle Quest. It's Bejeweled + RPG and it is addictive as hell.

Sokoban. There are tons of versions of the game available for many platforms. Boxxle on GB is one with a different title. Mole Mania for GB is another fun variation on the theme.

Shanghai II - Dragon's Eye has both a familiar tile matching game and the Dragon's Eye game which is a fun variation where one person is trying to fill up a board and the other is trying to match and remove tiles.

Dunno if it's been mentioned, but basically every title in Nintendo's Art Style series is fantastically addictive. Theres 5 on Wiiware and 7(?) on DSiWare.
