I've made some progress. Blocks can now be stacked and can be kept from bumping into each other, though you can't make 3 in a row yet.

Behold the jumbled mess:

Also...are the other two games available somehow? I know Geminim was an LE...but did it see a standard release?


The game will follow the Sega game mainly.  The dice tiles were just a simple to draw thing, though I've replaced them with some simpler squares that have numbers on them.

Gem standard will be out when the white clear cart shells are availabled.  Siamond LE will be out soon.  I'll be posting an official signup thread when I know more.  A few people have been guaranteed a copy, but there are still more to go.

So you're going to keep it 3 in a row (or more) a la columns?

I think you should definitely follow our suggestions for a more "Yahtzee-like" rule set.  It would add a twist to the genre.

^^^ that would be an awesome idea. With scoring based on poker hands, and the need to eliminate lines of 5 blocks at a time.
It would definitely be an added challenge...and it'd make it one game I'd have to play.  I'm a fan of Yahtzee, myself .

Would be awesome if you could play 2 player like Columns. that was my favorite. ]]> I've begun a third game... http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=7987 2008-05-09T11:34:24 -05.00 Sivak 20 I've begun a third game... http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=7987 2008-05-09T03:07:47 -05.00 Sivak 20 Originally posted by: srh201

the game gear was the biggest bulkiest handheld battery eater ever...

I'm afraid that title would fall into the hands of the Sega Nomad (coincidentally, another platform that had a Columns release for it)...35 minutes with 6 brand-new AA batteries (I timed it).

Looking good thus far, Sivak.  Looks strangely similar to a cross between Columns and Yahtzee...
