Sega Ages 2500 Vol. 7: Columns

About

Sega Ages 2500 Vol. 7 brings a classic puzzle formula to the PlayStation 2 with minimal changes. Players link three or more colored gems in a falling grid to clear them before they stack too high. The package includes two modes: one replicating the 1990 arcade version nearly exactly and another with pre rendered 2D visuals and improved audio. The versus mode adds local or AI opponents but otherwise sticks to the same match three mechanics. Simple controls and straightforward goals make it easy to pick up but hard to master. The main draw is the visual polish compared to the original. While community feedback on the PS2 port is sparse, long time fans appreciate the accurate arcade reproduction. The accidental release order mix up between Volume 6 and 7 remains a curious footnote. With no online features or modern updates the game feels firmly rooted in its era but retains a charm that keeps puzzle enthusiasts coming back for quick sessions.
