Does anyone know the scoring rules for the game Columns (originally for the Game Gear, perhaps?) or know where I could find such info?

Edit: so I made up my own rules (still need to balance it). Beta available at http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-396.html

3 (or more) in a row tetris style game

That much I already knew. But how are points given when you make more than 3? For example, you could theoretically get 5 in a column or row or diagonal, or even a combination of all three for up to 19 blocks in a single combo if you set up your columns just right. So for each additional block, is there some multiplier?

Can't really check right now, (browsing on my cellphone is a pain)but maybe check gamefaqs.com, wikipedia, or see if there's a vid on youtube.

Yeah, I've gone ahead and done just that. Just a few more subroutines and I should have a working version.

Cool for which platform ?

I should check if the local retro stores have this game at one point. I might grab a copy if it's not too expensive, since I like collecting retro games.

Anyway good to hear you found the original assembly! That said it isn't too bad if you modify some stuff, though. After all, originality is always good

I have attached it to this reply.
