A family legend is that while my mother was home one morning in early 1995, she played Columns and couldn't tear herself away. When my father came home from work that night, she was still playing with a maxed-out score -- a fact pointed out by my dad that finally got her to put down the controller. This music reminds me so much of playing this game with her as a boy.

Seems like from the comments, a lot of moms were playing columns, like its an universal thing no matter the country, kinda wholesome if you ask me.

One of my late mom's favorite games, she was really an expert, God knows how many levels she has passed. I remember I woke up on midnight, she was playing the game by herself. We got a very bad financial issue back then, my mom ran a family business. Perhaps this game was her only escape. If only I knew back then how hard it is to grow up and taking care a family, now I know.

This piece of music reminds me of my mom. She use to play this - dr mario 64 - tetris all the time. Great memories

I love these songs, playing this as a child, memories 2021

To this day this music still gives me chills. Something so mesmerizing about it

I heard Clotho theme after from much years later I must say: *I CRYING FOR THIS NOSTALGIC MASTERPIECE 😢*

my grandfather used to play this game all day but he passed away and i still remember this music

Definition of a nostalgia hit for me.

Columns has a few songs that are the best on the system! Maybe not in terms of killer beats but they have a ton of depth and sound very three dimensional (if that even makes sense). Very fitting to the game and memorable!

I feel like this will stand the test of time. Like the columns from ancient temples that you can still admire.

If you close your eyes, its like not a day has passed

Gosh I love this ... Ah good ol times .. the perfect soundtrack for sorting out your closet, the freezer, ya clothes, everything... The perfect cleaning soundtrack

THese are the three goddes... 0:32 Clotho, 4:44 Lathesis and 6:40 Atropos...these three...oh sega! Good job! Good job!

Clotho

Oh my god im 37 in july i had this on my mega collection 3 in 1 cartridge the music takes me right back to my mums living room jesus! 😄

Christ! That first few notes of "Clotho" shook some memory neurones that hadn't been active in a while!👍

I have no idea why this OST got stuck in my head today but thank god you uploaded all of these. When my mom got me my first Sega it came with this game and played it so much. I would get mad at my cousin when he would say its a rip off of Tetris lol I always thought it was different and more fun imo. Thanks for the upload

I love these comments. The reminiscing of friends, family, and childhoods made me a little emotional 🥲

Atropos I haven’t heard that song in such a long time. it was the menu music on the 6 pak cart! instantly transported me back to childhood

Damn man, so many memories rushing in with the song. Back in the 90s I used to play this game in a small room with a small tv on a 6in1 cart and the music, even back then blew my mind to pieces. Somewhat still the melody feels kinda sad which I never figured out why :D

My dad loves this game (and he used to beat me every time :P)

This game was such a big part of my childhood foray into gaming. Thanks so much for uploading this.

This game for me is a masterpiece. what a good memories so many hours of fun gives such a simple game. epic classical music.

I played this game in a friends house when I was 7 not many times, maybe 5, and I still remember the melody of Clotho.

I'm gonna cry.

Back to my childhood.

Clotho is the best of the Columns themes. To be honest, I never cared much for Columns. It wasn't addictive like Tetris. It wasn't competitive like Puyo Puyo or Tetris Attack. It wasn't quirky like Dr. Mario or Yoshi Cookie. And it certainly didn't have much of a story. But Clotho... still haunts me in my dreams.

Oh man, I used to play this game alot as a kid on the Sega Channel. God those were good times.

I’ll never forget this music

Considering a game made before Sonic the Hedgehog, this music is very good for Genesis, and I enjoy this game for that alone.

Amo demais a trilha sonora deste jogo!

Lo mejor de lo mejor, muchas gracias por compartirlo. Saludos desde la Provincia de Salta, Argentina.

Atropos is my fave! Oh, how crazy hearing it makes me!

A most simple, and yet a most addictive game.

Essas músicas são incríveis me rementem a minha infânciacom 6 7 anos vendo meu primo jogar ...

we used to play this for hours at my grandmas, so good, and thank you

This song was always my favorite

Quelle merveille

I wish I knew the amount of hours I sank into this game as a kid. I had the game for a little while before I decided to play it one day. I was sold immediately. The music and gameplay seemed to put me into a trance.

80th and 90th years were the best.

I wana cry 💔

Used to play this with my pops. Good times.

Thanks for upload

The music in this is top tier. 🎩 🪄🎉

I played this in the 90’s and I forgot about the intense part of a Clothos. I always attributed just the calm beginning.

This game is a certified mom classic

This was my first video game, at four years old. I never thought about the Greek influence obviously, but now it's clear. Even those women sprinkling the coloured pieces onto the board.

Oh my god!! I can’t even put into words how this makes me feel. I remember watching my NAN play this for hours, she was gangster at this!

When my mother bought me a Game Gear back in 1992-3, she ended up "borrowing" it to play Columns for like 2 hours before finally giving it to me. Judging by the comments, I see that there is something about puzzle games that attracts mothers.

OOF right in the childhood

OMG!! Childhood

good old days

Oney was right this does sound like that one boss fight in Wind Waker

Columns, my beloved

My childhood. Snif. 😭😭😭

Me and my older cousins playing SEGA Columns All night until it was time to go to ValleyFair the next morning!

Columns Clotho song is the exact same song from Interstellar Dock Sequence!!!! Anybody else notice this?!

Generation 86 present, a great game.

These are memories

ok, i see i'm not the only one crying with this music

beautiful

Magic childhood moment

My mom loved this game and the music.

souvenirs 🥺

I love Clotho

Even tho I was 5 years old the music in this game is very memorable. I played when I got older when I was 8 and watching the gems get faster and faster was amazing. Especially when that white multi color block falls and makes the same color disappear at the same time.

Good Old Sega Time of the Megadrive.

Amazing track.

Clotho is a fucking MASTERPIECE

Can't believe how many mom comments are here for this game! My mom played everyday after work to wind down in 97-98.

Angeles en el universo jugando con polvo de estrellas.

I love that art. (The 2 angels playing).

This game is worthy to have about 20 musics. I don't know why only few ones

Playing Atropos on .75 speed reminds me of the pace it plays when selecting a game from the six game cartridge I have. I always preferred it a tad slower too.

Clotho slays

this is a fucking masterpiece!

Remember getting stoned while playing this and making up retarded lyrics to these with friends. Was a good time lol

I would play this alone and meditate no internet just real people swapping games .

The trick is to start Clotho on normal, then go to 1.25 speed and then up to 1.5 speed. If youve played youll understand

やっと出会えた…ありがとう

Does anyone else hear the J.S. Bach Influence in this great work?

Clotho remember a old and abandoned church

There must not be many players who managed to finish this game. But it's still a great classic that changes Tetris.

Darkness,loneliness,sadness, all in this tone

The God's made this game I'm sure of it just the music alone captivates me.

いい夢みえそうです

..this music freaked me out

I swear I remember this game playing Metallica's bass solo, anesthesia - pulling teeth, from the kill em all album.

Did anybody else shed a tear?

Muito bom

we have a Sega all games thingy for our ps3 at home, and my dad forces me to play this w him 🌝🤞

This is the Mum/Mom Theme tune

Best tetris

stonks

Still love the music to this day

1.5 Speed tho

Unpopular opinion, but this was way better than Tetris. At least for me, it was.

This is like the tool of genesis

The only Sega game with a sound track from Tudor times ...
