About

Columns II takes everything fans know and love about the original and dramatically increases the value. Not only is there an online versus mode, a Stage Select feature, and a tabletop mode that rotates Player 2’s screen 180 degrees for face-to-face battles, but the original Genesis version of Columns comes bundled in! There’s even an Infinite Jewels mode that lets you play virtually forever. This version of the game adds: - Stage selection for the 70 single player levels - A stage clear record for the arcade mode with the round girls/boys unlocked based on your progress - Online multiplayer - Some custom options for multiplayer: no skull spawns, flipped screen. - UI option for Columns or Columns II styles - The Sega Genisis/Mega Drive version of Columns that was available as a DLC for Yakuza 0 has also been included with the game.
