Klax is one of those puzzle games that looks simple at first—just stack colored tiles into rows, columns, or diagonals to clear them—but before long, the conveyor belt is dumping blocks faster than you can think. The Sega Master System version keeps the same frantic energy as the arcade original, just with slightly chunkier pixels.

You start with three lanes to drop tiles into, but the game quickly throws curveballs like zigzagging blocks and color-swapping tiles. I remember getting wrecked by the later levels because I kept trying to set up big combos instead of just surviving. The music’s got that classic late-'80s synth vibe too—catchy, but it starts feeling like a countdown timer after a while.

If you like tile-matching but want something faster than Tetris, this one’s a solid pick.
