Columns – Cheats & Tips

Genesis, Sega

Here are some cheats and tips for the game Columns.

Second magic jewel:
Create one row of normal jewels stacked almost to the top

of the playfield. Allow a vertical space for only two of the

three jewels in the next block to fit.. Watch the preview window

for the next magic jewel block. When it appears, quickly move

it to the top of the prepared stack. The magic jewel will eliminate

the “touching” color jewels, and all of the remaining

jewels will drop down, as will the single magic jewel that was

off the playfield. This single magic jewel will drop down and

eliminate another group of colored jewels.

10,000 bonus points:
Create one vertical column that is empty all the way to the

bottom of the playfield. Watch the preview window for the next

magic jewel block. Position it in a way so it falls down this

column to the bottom.

Create magic jewel:
Begin game play in easy arcade mode. Fill the two columns

on the far left or far right as high as possible with jewels to

create a magic jewel.
