Tetris & Dr. Mario (SNES, 1994) I wasn't sure exactly where or whether to put either of these two games on the list, so I just cheated and used the combined game for both! Ultimately, I much prefer my puzzle games competitive, and this game was one of the first to really branch off in that direction. Back when I used to play this with some friends in high school, we referred to the combined Tetris/Dr. Mario mode as "The Gauntlet" for some reason, which has stuck with me to this day. Tetris is definitely the better game of the two, but I have a soft spot for Dr. Mario, whose level-based progression satisfies my more completionist vibe. I imagine most everyone will have some version of Tetris on the list, and despite considering Tetris 99 and just basic NES Tetris, this seemed the most appropriate for my sensibilities. Good times all around here. (Also, sorry, I don't particularly like Puyo Puyo so PPT/PPT2 never stood a chance.) 69. Minesweeper (PC, 1992) Sometime in the mid-2000s I got really into Minesweeper. At first, I was just trying to see if I could figure out the game that baffled me when I was five years old, and after learning it wasn't actually especially hard I got pretty decent at it. I played mostly expert, got some pretty solid times, then kind of put it away after it lost its novelty. At some point, though, it started becoming by go-to game for listening to podcasts or music. For whatever reason my brain needs some degree of basic activity when I'm just listening to something, otherwise I get too antsy and impatient. Minesweeper was perfect for covering that base of giving me enough stimulus and things to click on while not being too distracting from whatever I want to listen to. To this day, I still bust it out for some very casual games whenever I've got something on in the background. I'm at 8384 games played, with a solid 22% winrate. Placing this was pretty hard, since like most mental puzzles (such as Sudoku or even Picross), the novelty wears off at a certain point and you can't specifically recapture the magic of when you were "figuring out" the game. So ultimately I decided for the meme placement since it captures the "importance" of it in my life while not seeming too high. Not bad for a little game pre-bundled with Windows! --- it's an underwater adventure ride <cite>Naye745 posted [p:949541181] in The Board ... [t:79208627]...</cite> <quote>70.
