We, MSX people witnessed the birth of this brillant game (concept)!

I loved to play the MSX game. The missions were nice, never got further than mission 17 "at the time"...
What I liked even more, was playing versus a human player, and back then, we thought our level was pretty advanced.

Then I saw some Japanese guys battling against each other on some console-fair...
Made my stomach churn!

However, nowadays, through the "wonder of emulation" I got acquainted to later versions of this game.
It's a game you'll learn to understand even better than you thought you did!

Without meaning to brag (muhahaha) I can say, that I finished without cheating:

SNES - Super Puyo Puyo

SNES - Super Puyo Puyo 2

Arcade - Puyo Puyo

SMS - Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine

Sega Genesis - Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine

Yes, I actually got beter at the game, subsequently dared to pick up the MSX version again, and got quite a bit missions further!

I almost became an expert like those freaked-out Japs!

My goal is to eventually beat every *real* Puyo Puyo game ever made.

Is there someone here who has ever beaten all missions of the MSX 2 version?

And, generally, wanna play against me, bee-otch?

Great. Try now Guru Logic Champ (Game Boy Advance). An excellent puzzle by Compile (non-competitive).

I've beaten all missions with Puyo Puyo way back when. Iirc it has a real strange final stage number: 52 or some' such. Always liked the missions. Don't know why they weren't in any other Puyo game I saw after the msx version.

Versus games were cool too. Very nice how they handled for chains to be disrupted.

I accept your challenge Demonseed. I have Puyo Puyo (MSX), Puyo Puyo 2 (PC+PSX) Puyo Puyo Sun (PSX), Puyo Pop Fever (PS2) and a little Puyo-shaped handheld version of the game. Especially my girlfriend (maybe you know her ) is good at Puyo Puyo. Afterwards I have a little Gradius challenge for you...

Let's get to it!

Got some puyos for DC here as well...

What's DC? Dreamcast? You got one of those?

Yup...
The thing is broken, but I'll have a new one...
Got a few puyos on it...

Hah, I also finished the missions back then! I don't remember it was that hard, though.

Hmmm... A lot of experts here!

I should beat all missions of MSX Puyo Puyo and try the versions on other systems before I tear open a big mouth about the game again...

But the challenge is still on!

@Meits, must be nice!

Saw a screenshot, looked different in a good sense.

Are there more MSX-ish titles on that machine?

Don't forget to play those:
flobopuyo - clone of the PuyoPuyo game
kfouleggs - A KDE clone of the Japanese PuyoPuyo game
ksirtet - Tetris and Puyo-Puyo games for KDE
xpuyopuyo - A puzzle game similar to tetris, played with colored blobs

@DemonSeed: there is a Princess Maker compilation thing for DreamCast (I am certain, because I own it, however I didn't actually get round to actually playing it yet )

Yeah? Is it in English?

If it was in English I would have played it, wouldn't I?

Fair enough...
