I'm colorblind so I get killed by color-based puzzles though. I was playing Bust-A-Move (or some similar game - I can't remember) the other day and had to shut it off after about five minutes. I was getting nowhere.
Yeah, no Puzzle Fighter for you then.

One or the other versions of this game has little shapes in the bubbles to help differentiate them as well, so the right version of Bust-A-Move/Puzzle Bobble may still be playable.

And the gems in Columns have different shapes as well. Not sure if they're distinct enough to be worth it, however.

Are you blind to all colors, or just a few? (like red and green)

Tetris all the way, brothers.

Just yesterday, I found out about Sega's Tetris Dekaris (giant Tetris). I need to play this.

Mean Bean Machine is actually one of my favorite puzzlers. I had it on my Sonic Classics cart for Genesis and played the crap out of it. I still pop it in the Nomad every once in a while.
I am buying all Saturn games, PM me with your offerings and I will let you know if I need the game or not! (Everything must be CIB)

Currently trying to knock off all the sports games, would like to get them <$5 each! Of course if you would like to donate them I will gladly pay the shipping! :)

If you like Mean Bean Machine or Kirby's Avalance, you really need to try a more recent version of Puyo Puyo. Those games are ports of like Puyo Puyo 1 or something. Some of the later games add some really neat features and play elements. Unlike some puzzle games, many of the additions genuinely improve the game instead of just messing with a model that works perfectly.

Used to love playing puzzle bobble 2 for the neo geo (I think) when I used to go to the arcades. They also had tetris there but did mean bean machine or puyo puyo ever make it in the arcades?

Yes, it did.

Tsu was a System C2 game and Sun was a Titan game. Both had Saturn ports. Sun was a pretty direct port due to being on essentially the same hardware in the arcade.
