Suzuki san is a bomb disposal expert – luckily considering bombs keep turning up in the most bizarre places such as in her mobile phone. Once the cut scene has finished its off to work with your tools to diffuse the bomb within the time limit – often easier said than done on later levels. A special title worthy of a second chance. And it is one of a burgeoning treasure chest of retro tinged releases for the Playstation that weren’t going for polygons-a-plenty as was in vogue at the time. Instead devious gameplay lies at the crux and as such it stands the test of time far better.
Dreamcast
Puzzle
One of the earlier releases for the DC bringing the classic Russian puzzler to the table for up to four players. Multiplayer madcap mayhem assured.
GameBoy Original
Puzzle
A rather neat puzzle title where shapes must be matched up in fours with the top score (and some fine visual pyrotechnics to celebrate) being reached via matching up all seventy two shapes. Different options on offer in terms of shapes to use for those spooked by the traditional stones.
Sega Saturn
Puzzle

Playstation
Puzzle
A highly-collectable puzzle game in which players must get their brains thinking on the lines of triangles to slot them together and deliver punishing chains to your opponent. A cheery array of characters and enjoyable in-game animations for those with enough time to glance at them. Developer Santos is better known for Airgrave and Stahlfeder on the format.
Super Famicom
Puzzle
Colourful characters as bright as the descending spheres which send immoveable blocks raining down on your opponents side of the screen. Plenty of emotion in both victory and defeat with Konami’s polish in presentation in ample evidence. Full title: Tsuyoshi Shikkari Shinasai Taisen Puzzle Dama (or loosely translated as: Sort it out Tsuyoshi.)
Virtual Boy
Puzzle
Complete with the usual modes to adjust the speed and number of starting lines, but its the horizontally scrolling mode making full use of the VB’s 3D capabilities where this version really excels. Having to think about whats going on around the corner really adds a new element to the Tetris formula.
Famicom Cart
Puzzle
Exciting puzzle game with an overhead perspective that allows players to clearly view the action. Taking on the role of a bionic man, players must try and fill up the screen with blocks which they constantly trail from behind. Yet skilful control whilst keeping an eye out for trapping yourself against your own blocks are the keys to beating your opponent. Good, gaming, wholesome fun.
Playstation
Puzzle
Highly original puzzler from Sony where you must throw dice to clear the board. Simple, but painfully addictive as all good puzzlers should be. Also known as Devil Dice.
Famicom Cart
Puzzle
The cookies of the title must be aligned by scrolling the biscuits horizontally and vertically. Two player mode makes for frantic action as success can temporarily mask a key area of players cookie tray. Simple, fun and Nintendo.
GameBoy Original
Puzzle
Manipulate the pattern on tiles to either twist them or shift position in order to be able to clear the screen. Plenty of that magical Disney-esque, Nintendo presentation behind the devilish gameplay. Known as Yoshi no Panepon in Japanese.
