• Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine

    This game and I go waaaaaaaay back…At least its Genesis equivalent and I do. Tetris may have been the first puzzle game I ever played, but Dr. Robotnikís Mean Bean Machine was the first one I understood. Yep, at age 6, Tetrisís goal of making lines eluded me, but grouping four or more beans of the same color was easy as pie. One could say that Mean Bean Machine is the game that taught me to love puzzle games, well into the present.
