If you have someone to play it with, Tetris Battle Gaiden (I forget the Japanese title, but it's Tetris -something- Gaiden) is the best version of Tetris I've ever played. It's not much fun by your lonesome, but if you can lure a few friends into it, you're set.
BTW... how can you claim that the best puzzle game ever is Puyo Puyo when your avatar is from Mr. Driller? I see a conflict of interests here.
For what it's worth, I think Puyo Puyo is the best classic ochige (falling stuff game) ever as well.

I tend to think that it's more a matter of the time in which the games were released; back in the 16-bit era, Japanese culture and such wasn't as big in the West as it is now, so a lot of stuff that was brought over here was heavily localized...these days you don't see nearly as much of it. Heck, in some cases the Japanese "elements" of certain things are emphasized rather than downplayed. I tend to think that if Puyo Puyo, Panel de Pon, etc. were just coming to the West now, a lot more of the original stuff would be left in.Davey wrote:Granted, I'm sure the American public would gravitate more towards Tetris Attack than they would towards Panel de Pon, but it's misleading regardless.

Doremi Fantasy is even better, thoe.

Konami just bought the rights for publishing it in the Western countries. The game's from Masaya.Also, while it's not "underrated," if you like Prince of Persia, the SNES one is the best version of all IMHO. Probably has something to do with the fact that Konami made it.
Wow, I'll check those out! Woot, more platformers for the SNES~
