Yoshi's Cookie is one of those NES puzzlers that looks cute but will absolutely wreck you if you're not paying attention. You're sliding rows of cookies around—Yoshi's face, flowers, that kind of thing—trying to match three or more in a line. Sounds simple, right? Then the speed picks up, and suddenly you're frantically shoving cookies around like you're late for a bakery deadline.

The music's got that classic Nintendo charm, all bouncy and cheerful, which almost makes you forget how brutal the later levels get. I remember thinking it was just a kid's game at first, but then I got stuck on stage 5 for, like, an embarrassing amount of time. The way the cookies slide feels just right—snappy but not too slippery—and there's something weirdly satisfying about watching a whole row vanish when you finally line them up.

It's the kind of game where you'll say "one more try" at 1 AM and then realize you've been at it for an hour.
