I've played the Puyo Puyo series way back on the Sega Genesis, at least its better than what it was called in the West, being "Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine".
That was also my first introduction to the game as a whole. While It was a sonic-tied game, I never knew that it branched off from Puyo Puyo until I have saw Puyo Puyo Tetris because like twogames I was obsessed with back then 🡒
