Bit of Classic-era trivia for you.

Did you know that the games Columns, the first game of the series and Super Columns, the last game in the series, all take place in ancient Phoenicia? Manuals stated that stacking small gemstones was a popular game amongst merchants. In Super Columns theres a story mode where a merchant named Surhand has stolen a sacred amulet and you must beat her and her four henchmen. Games dialogue indicates that each victory over them you win a small fortune, so it was perhaps a better game also.
