Tuesday Grudge Match: Bust-a-Move vs. Magical Drop

[Kroogah]

Magical Drop was unlike any other puzzle game at the time it was released. Bust-a-Move and its familiar cast of characters have embedded themselves into the hardcore gamer's consciousness.
Tell us what game has sucked more hours of your life away, and why.

I like them both, tough call really, but for me BaM gets the edge as it's a little more accessible IMHO. I've played rookies in BaM who got the hang of it fast, but played rookies in MD III where I kill them in 7 seconds.

In general, I think I prefer BaM's gameplay and look more, as well. But you certainly can't go wrong with either one.

Magical Drop. EVERYTHING seems slow after playing that.

Magical Drop is one of the few puzzle games I see money matches in, and is a great game in its own right.

That, and I suck at bust a move.

I'm still rather fond of Bust-A-Move/Puzzle Bobble. It's simply complex, it can be ridiculously adorable AND addicting, and Bubble Bobble characters? That's the icing on the cake.

good post....but Im gonna say Bub and Bob take this one

Can't decide... Though I hate how the "new" Puzzle Bobble games are lacking Bub and Bob...

They both kick a large amount of Ass.

i love fast action-puzzle games, so i have to say magical drop.

Bust-a-Move/Puzzle Bobble gets my vote.

Bust a Move. God, I played this with my friends Eric and Shuey for hours on the Saturn. We'd just stay up all night and play BAM.

Good times, good times.

While I love them both, I have to give the nod to Magical Drop. Actually, I'd really rather give it to Money Puzzle Exchanger. Magical Drop + Math = Wet Pants.
