- I agree that the IBM (or MAC) versions of Columns are not very impressive.
- However, for the GS there are several versions of Columns:
-
- Columns GS v0.5, 1.0, 2.0
- Fun Columns and Columns Desk Accessory by the FTA
-
- Columns 0.5 had no graphics...version 1.0 has simple graphics... but
- version 2.0 has music and user-configurable blocks; some people have
- made some quite interesting blocks, ranging from letters to jewels to
- various traffic signs! So, IMO, the blocks were quite nice and with a
- lot of potential for the users to futz around with.
-
- A two player version does sound like fun.
