Shisenshou - Match-Mania is one of those classic Game Boy puzzlers that’s way more addictive than it has any right to be. You’re matching pairs of tiles—sounds simple, right? But the catch is you can only connect them with three straight lines or fewer, and the board keeps filling up as you go. At first, it feels like a chill way to kill time, but before long, you’re frantically scanning for that one possible match before the timer runs out.

The Japanese version has this weirdly satisfying clink sound when you clear tiles, and the music somehow makes even the most desperate last-second matches feel dramatic. I swear, half the time I tell myself "just one more round," and suddenly it’s been an hour. If you’ve ever lost an afternoon to Tetris or Dr. Mario, this one’s got the same kind of pull.

It’s the perfect kind of game for when you’ve got five minutes to spare—or when you accidentally turn five minutes into fifty.
