It's not a bad game. Far from it. But like many "match x" puzzle games that released around the time and much later, the gameplay is best experienced in short bursts. For that reason it is not a great home console game to sit down and play for hours, but it makes a great game on a handheld that can be played anywhere whenever you have some downtime to kill. For this reason, the Gameboy release far outshines the NES release, despite the latter's added polish.
