About this game
Puyo Puyo is a falling pieces puzzle, with basic similarities to Tetris .
Pairs of puyos (monsters from Compile's RPG series Madō Monogatari ) fall down from the top into a cylinder.

They can be moved left or right, rotated in either direction and made to drop faster.
The goal is to get four puyos of the same color touching each other horizontally or vertically.
Doing so removes them from the field.
Making groups of larger than four, several at the same time or creating chain reactions nets more points.
The game ends once the stacked puyos reach the top of the cylinder.
The game offers an endless single-player mode, a two-player mode (first player to fill their cylinder loses) and a mission mode.
Mission mode presents the player with a number of pre-filled playing fields with a preset task, like making a minimum number of puyos disappear in one move, or removing all puyos of a certain color.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Puyo Puyo for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Puyo Puyo to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1991.
