New article idea: Lesser known puzzle games

Kirby's Avalance is one of the Puyo clones, and is likely too commonly found, between that, Robotnik's mean bean machine, and whatever else have you.

And I guess Columns was, if it isn't anymore, too well-known. It was the pack-in for the US Game Gear also.

Thats what came to my mind also.

Struggling to think of any others. Puzzle Fighter is great but thats well known. Maybe Hatris on the PC Engine?

I think we'll have to unite both puzzlers and action/puzzlers into one article to get proper length, unless someone has some awesome ideas.

And hey, there was Klax!

What's Polarium? Didn't that get both a PSP and DS release?

Anybody know the old game Flipull?
