clone?

If Vital Light is a Quarth clone then Quarth is a Tetris clone.

You are right. Looking at Age of Rock, it does look very similar. So Blasteris was just a rip off. Well, gotta try Age of Rock then

Great list! Never heard of Polarium and Rampage Puzzle Attack, they look very interesting. And I just saw Super Tetris 3 has a 4 player mode, how cool. There's also Tritus on the Amiga, it has a great 3 player mode, and Tetris 4D on the Dreamcast is also nice and has a fun 4 player mode.

I never had the full game of this, only the CU Amiga demo. The demo version music was amazing. I could listen to that while solving puzzles for hours.

Great choice; its one of those games that succeeds in the "easy to learn, hard to master" deal. Ace intro too

I discovered Minskkes only 1 year ago too and it is one of my all time favorite too, a really wonderfull job yes !

I love a lot e-motion (incredibly funny in two players mode !), the teller (in three players mode it is the total chaos ahahahaha), and many more on plenty of systems... Puzzle bobble is a true classic on neo-geo, the gamecube version is superb too, twintris, outfall (same family than minskies !), logical,... Sooo much great titles !

Snap! I bought this game soon as it was released after playing the CU Amiga demo (I still miss demo's on magazines). The remake (PC) is cool too and has many extra levels. It's even available for Android too.

Amiga: Chip's Challenge - basic graphics that serve their purpose and annoying NTSC screen (these days can be full screen thanks to WinUAE!) but the game itself was addictive!

Playstation One: Landmaker - hard to get hold of game and I thought was underrated. However, the genre of this title also falls into battle and arcade so not quite a 100% puzzle game?

What impresses me the most about this game is the sheer amount of levels - around 150 I believe; the last one being a maddening ice maze sliding puzzle which I never managed to solve. 150 bleeding levels, and all of them have that personal "I'm going to screw with your mind" kind of feel to them. Its not like they were haphazzardly thrown together by an intern, they were carefully designed by people who enjoyed doing that a whole lot.

Buzzsaw is a nice falling blocks game for the ZX Spectrum that was made in 2011. I've been playing it a lot recently.
