Pyramid Magic Special is one of those weird little Genesis puzzlers that somehow sticks with you. You're dropped into these blocky, ancient pyramid chambers with no explanation—just you, some floating orbs, and a bunch of switches that clearly do something. At first, it feels like pushing blocks around aimlessly, but then you accidentally trigger a hidden passage and suddenly it clicks. The whole thing has that old-school trial-and-error charm where half the fun is figuring out what the rules even are.

The music’s got that classic Sega twang—synthy but kinda eerie, like you’re being watched by some long-dead pharaoh. And the puzzles ramp up fast. One minute you’re nudging a block onto a pressure plate, the next you’re timing jumps between disappearing platforms while orbs shoot at you. Mess up and you’re back at the chamber entrance, but it never feels unfair—just the right kind of frustrating.

Honestly, it’s the kind of game you boot up for “just one level” and suddenly it’s 2 AM. If you’ve got a soft spot for cryptic 16-bit puzzle boxes, this one’s a hidden gem.
