A version of Dr Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine for the Game Gear and Master System. This features much simpler graphics, but due to the more limited colour choices, I can actually tell them apart a lot more, so I can actually play it much better than the Mega Drive version.
Another addition to this version is the puzzle mode. It gives you 30 challenges with a set-up of beans and an objective, such as eliminate all beans of one type, getting large combos or just getting rid of all beans. It’s a really nice addition to the game, one that elevates it to be better than the Mega Drive version.

Trust me, you do NOT remember how brutal this silly Sonic spinoff was. The tiny Game Gear screen, paired with speeds too fast for the naked eye, make this match-4 arcade have damn near speculative gameplay, fun as it may be to link colors together.
The enemy portraits in this thing are incredibly expressive. The people making this were hopped up on something.
