Too Good For My Good?

After scouring many game stores in Florida during last week's visit to my mother's house, I found a copy of Sega Genesis Collection. Now that I'm back in the dorm, I popped it in to explore the buttery depths of Sega classics. One of those classics was Columns, a puzzle game that involved getting three gems in a row - not unlike a few of the puzzle games we have even today.

Unfortunately, I reached Level 100 on my first try. I know I should be patting myself on the back and frolicking over to my local Japanese store to get a well-deserved can of coconut juice, but I was irate. Maybe it's because the game was too easy or that I was too good for my own good. But it's most likely because I wanted to stop at Level 34, when the gems were falling out of the sky like anvils, but since it was my first try, I wanted to see how far I could get without dying. This equated to about two and a half hours worth of time.

I'm not sure how I feel at this point. I'm glad, mad, grateful, and spiteful. So I guess I'm feeling empty.

(Sigh...)
