My mother once played Columns an entire day in '93... that is until my dad told her, "The score counter won't go any higher, you know." This music takes me back to being five years old and watching in utter awe as those gems moved furiously...
my dad did that too! I remember coming home after school and he was playing it at level 9999. the console is at max speed then and just running infinitely. The game only ended because he decided to switch it off :P
I remember that this was the only game that my father loved to play with me when I was a child, we spent hours on advanced levels, I always beat him, he was impressed with the speed of my pieces... one of the few things that I was better than my father in my entire life
That would be Tokuhiko Uwabo. Compared to the Game Boy version of Tetris' type A background music, which had an appropriately Russian feel, "Clotho" took a more classical approach to its musical style.
Fun epic fact: the final part of the song in the video, which is also the song playing when you are about to game over, is inspired/plagiarized from Iron Maiden’s Phantom of the opera
shiiiitt exactly the same ! i was looking since y was a kid for the names and for super hang on o good times playing with my father at golden axe o shit im buying a genesis i still have the cartdrige
That sounds amazing. Mine was different though. I think it was Columns, Sonic 1, Revenge of Shinobi, European superstars (soccer), Super Monaco Grand Prix, and Streets of Rage.
Black Market I think, they (SEGA) made different packs of games for every region, I'm from Europe and have the PAL region, so they would thought that in europe would like these games, if you are from USA or the NTSC region//JAP region the games might be different
This song reminds me of when my mom was still here. Jesus Christ, I haven't cried so hard in years as I did when I decided to buy the Mega Drive Collection and just ran through all the games, hit this one, thought nothing of it, then heard the song, and everything crushed me at once. This song hurts so good.
My grandmother was so addicted to this game that the only reason I kept my Sega Genesis until 2012 (when she died) was so she could play Columns at 2 in the fucking morning while I was asleep!
Actually, Clotho was a goddess in Greek mythology, along with her two sisters who also have tracks named after them in this game. The three of them together were responsible for weaving fate, destiny, life, and death.
As addictive as Tetris is and how cool the music is, Columns buried it. The game was better and its nostalgia factor is even greater. Even my mum loves it lol Timeless.
My childhood best friend's mom would take the Genesis into her bedroom and play this game for hours. No joke. We had to beg for it back to play Golden Axe II lol
the ultimate theme song. It so in-depth for such a simple puzzle game. Very rpg-esque. I can hear the sound of 8bit columns breaking right now. Level up lol
Loved the fact that when you paused the game it doesnt clear the screen. So as soon as your gem dropped, you pause and plan ahead on where to put it. You could play forever!
I just remembered this song last night i remember having a 6in1 cart with this game in it. Im suprised alot of folks still remember this game its pretty good.
In my country we had something similar, but with 7 games instead: Tiny Toons Adventures, World Cup '92, Streets of Rage, Ms Pacman, Columns, Tetris and Bomboy Explosion Kid.
I’m 21 now and I remember being like 6 and playing this game nonstop on Sega with my older boy cousins on Sunday mornings. They’re like 27 now and we no longer talk so this song has sentimental value. I love it because it makes me feel nostalgic :)
So good, that fast part is my favorite, reminds me a bit of the mid section in Iron Maidens, Phantom Of The Opera, which begins at 3:26, I believe. Great stuff and fun game!
Aaaah! I always thought I was the only one who noticed that - that's amazing :) It was amazing how the music changed depending on how critical your situation was
The slow, methodical opening evokes opulent architecture and spacious halls, reminiscent of the more "holy" sounding tunes in Actraiser and Soul Blazer. At 1:28 it picks up a bit of speed and sets out on a rolling, meandering path that reminds me of Phillip Glass. Unfortunately I never played this game when it was new, but at least I get to enjoy this incredible song now!
I've love this game since the early 90's. It's an must have for any puzzle-loving fan. I remember playing not only this but Tetris and Dr. Mario...all 3 games are awesome in their own special way.
You know, I may not have been very young when I played this game, I don't have as deeply engraved nostalgia as some of you would have but I still gotta say it's one hell of a song. It really captures the feel of this game. Stoic, ancient, yet busy and even nerve-racking in a way. The song embodies this through simplicity and great composition and no I'm not a musician, just a game designer.
This is probably the earliest memory of a song from a video game that I have. I was 7 when this game came out and my brother bought it. I still catch myself humming the song once in awhile.
After 23 years, this song stills scaring the shit out of me... I'm crying right now... My mom used to play Columns when i was 2 and because of this song, she was forced to play with headphones or mute, anytime i heared the song, i started crying loud...
My Grandmother was our house holds resident expert at columns. 60 years old and she reached Level 210. I didnt know that it went that high when I was a kid.
I remember when I was a kid, playing the game and my dad came into the room just to listen to the tunes while I played. He said he liked the baroque style of the game's songs and was fascinated by its great music.
I remember that this was the only game that my father loved to play with me when I was a child, we spent hours on advanced levels, I always beat him, he was impressed with the speed of my pieces... one of the few things that I was better than my father in my entire life
This song is a really nice background music for when you're playing Novice flash columns on level 5, have yourself worked all the way up to the top, but through a series of freak accident combos you work your way back down to the bottom and smash that shiny little gem. Like I always say, every missed combo is just a bigger combo waiting to happen.
Wow, this song sure takes me back. The glory days of my early childhood were all the hours spent playing my Genesis, which included this game. I remember I could never get past level 6, but I didn't really care because I had fun with it. Such good times
I remember as a kid (and even to this day) when I play columns, i get lost while playing this song while the columns keep coming down faster and I always forget where I am
Love this game family game night was the best all sat in the icing room with dad home from the navy all trying to beat my mums high-scores. Thanks for posting this it has made me happy
Good old times, remember playing this in early 2000's, such a memorable times. the world for me in that time just more epic, compared nowadays, no smartphones or whatsoever.
i swear this song takes me back! i remember summers in my childhood playing this game continously. i used to know this song completely, but this is the first time i've heard in 7 or 8 years. good times!
My god, I used to play the FUCK out of this game. It was addictive. The music just added to it. I genuinely obsessed over it. I would sit in school all day and count down the minutes until I could gtfo there and go play columns. The PS1 came and that was the end of my columns obsession... crazy.
my parents played this game a lot back in the day. unaware it never ends. not that didn't mind the game or its wonderful soundtrack, it did cut into my sonic time on the megadrive!
the soundtrack to this game was from another planet, it just seemed to have clarity, mystique, hypnotic vibe to it to it that defied the system specs. The fact that is was one of the first games too is even more impressive.
this game is badass i used to play it wit my mom when i was younger.... just but the game for my PSP and 360.... nothin like the old skoo games...especially this song

Thanks for sharing your history!
My mother was into this game heavily aswell, and the music is so nostalgic and brings me back to the good times.
My parents would play this this series for hours as a kid, I was more into mean bean machine myself
my dad did that too!
I remember coming home after school and he was playing it at level 9999. the console is at max speed then and just running infinitely. The game only ended because he decided to switch it off :P

That would be Tokuhiko Uwabo. Compared to the Game Boy version of Tetris' type A background music, which had an appropriately Russian feel, "Clotho" took a more classical approach to its musical style.

@@frankinobestia Thanks for the info mate!
I may not have liked the game but the music is really good. I'll listen to it while playing other puzzle games with the music off.
Super Hang On, The Revenge Of Shinobi, Golden Axe, World Cup Italia,Collumns and Streets Of Rage EPIC CARTDRIGE
Yeah, the Sega 6-Pak is pretty damned awesome.
shiiiitt exactly the same ! i was looking since y was a kid for the names and for super hang on o good times playing with my father at golden axe o shit im buying a genesis i still have the cartdrige
That sounds amazing. Mine was different though. I think it was Columns, Sonic 1, Revenge of Shinobi, European superstars (soccer), Super Monaco Grand Prix, and Streets of Rage.

TheCodeX
It's even stranger now because I'm from Spain hahaha. I suppose mine came out later. I reckon the packs change then and again.
God, i remember being like 5 years old and just sitting at the menu screen just listening to this song.
Same, but i was like 2 or 3, which probably makes this song my earliest memory.
me too!
samesies
Same. My dad would steal the sega from me and play this game and i used to sit there and listen to it constantly, i was 5 to hahahaha
Same!!!
This song reminds me of when my mom was still here. Jesus Christ, I haven't cried so hard in years as I did when I decided to buy the Mega Drive Collection and just ran through all the games, hit this one, thought nothing of it, then heard the song, and everything crushed me at once.
This song hurts so good.
Beautiful comment man. I’m sorry for your loss. It’s unbelievable what one piece of music can do to your soul. Stay strong bud 💪
@@reniisgod indeed a beautiful comment. I remember, when I was a child, I used to play this game with my mom as well... ahhhh the good old times...
My penis died. Like pls?
I also play this game with my mom..
Same with me and my uncle. I'm glad that you have those memories :)
Man, I would love to hear this performed on an actual organ.
@@anna.b100 Any update?? Please post a video
me in another life tried to perform this on an organ...... on a daw._. but didn't worked.
Really!!
I’ve had this melody in my head all month and haven’t played this in nearly 25 years. The music is very memorable for this game.
This song makes my heart flutter so
My grandmother was so addicted to this game that the only reason I kept my Sega Genesis until 2012 (when she died) was so she could play Columns at 2 in the fucking morning while I was asleep!
Sorry for your loss man, have a blessed year 😊 (John 3:16)
When I hear this song I can imagine a really old and abandoned church cause of its mystical feeling
i never thought it but now i cant stop thinking it
Actually, Clotho was a goddess in Greek mythology, along with her two sisters who also have tracks named after them in this game. The three of them together were responsible for weaving fate, destiny, life, and death.
Oh the three granny in the Hercules Disney movie.
now that mentioned that ... this music would be nice in a church organ I suppose.
I can actually see that happening.
I miss this game. Hearing the music when I was little creeped me out, but I love it.
This can be played perfectly on a church organ.
it seems exceedingly difficult.
I'd pay to see that. Imagine being in a huge cathedral and having a talented organist absolutely rip it up to this. My god it would be epic.
@@DarrenBates Fuckin' A!
Or the popular Hammond B3 electric organ.
Sounds killer on guitar as well
This music used to hypnotise me back in the early 90s when I was a kid. One of the greatest video game soundtracks of all time.
Honestly; the best puzzle game music, to this day
As addictive as Tetris is and how cool the music is, Columns buried it. The game was better and its nostalgia factor is even greater. Even my mum loves it lol
Timeless.
Everyone's Mum loves it, I shit you not.
My used to play even more than me!
same, my mom would hog the genesis just for this game XD
My childhood best friend's mom would take the Genesis into her bedroom and play this game for hours. No joke. We had to beg for it back to play Golden Axe II lol
So much nostalgia! I remember watching my mom and aunt play this as I waited to play Sonic.
Aw man, it's one of those days. Raining out and I'm in bored. Thought I get a taste of nostalgia.
Same here :)
Rain is just Earth using a speed hack in Columns.
You have a really nice fence in your profile picture, cool blinds too
@@FixedKarma You can come over since you're looking so hard lol
this reminded me that i'm just pretending to be happy, but the real happiness is when i used to play this game
the ultimate theme song. It so in-depth for such a simple puzzle game. Very rpg-esque. I can hear the sound of 8bit columns breaking right now. Level up lol

Loved the fact that when you paused the game it doesnt clear the screen. So as soon as your gem dropped, you pause and plan ahead on where to put it. You could play forever!
Can confirm. Blew my Sega friends away with my high score as a kid.
omg I never thought of that. I need to go play columns right now.
@@theillustratoryar1382 What was it? Do you remember?
I just remembered this song last night i remember having a 6in1 cart with this game in it.
Im suprised alot of folks still remember this game its pretty good.
Jesus there's some memories
More than 10 years later and this music still catches me with its tones
10 years?? Bro this is 32 years old
@@BigSplenda1885 I told you my personal perspective.
This is the most tranquil video game music I've ever heard.
Sega megadrive 6 games cartridge (uk) - Columns - monaco gp 91 - revenge of shinobi - Streets of rage - Sonic 1 - sega soccer, Nostalgia
fucking hell, i got that with sega megadrive 2 model.
Ed Tryhardy Yeah!!! I had this on the game gear aswell lol
In my country we had something similar, but with 7 games instead: Tiny Toons Adventures, World Cup '92, Streets of Rage, Ms Pacman, Columns, Tetris and Bomboy Explosion Kid.
The Sega Six Pack cart I got with my Genesis was Sonic the Hedgehog, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Revenge of Shinobi, Columns and Super Hang On
not just uk i had the same in portugal :D
Eu amava essa música, descobri posteriormente que o início dela é uma versão de Toccata and Fugue de Bach
Hola amigo! Sabés de cual??
When I hear this song I imagine a palace in Persia late at night cleaning due to the gems shining ontop of it reflecting the moonlight
I think of a palace too. Not sure where, but I do.
when I was 4 years old my mom and I loved playing this game together...that was true happiness
sounds like the perfect music for playing chess, backgamon or even mahjong, fits perfectly with any classical board game
this ost makes everything epic, especially street fighter 2 on the snes with the fights with guyle
I’m 21 now and I remember being like 6 and playing this game nonstop on Sega with my older boy cousins on Sunday mornings. They’re like 27 now and we no longer talk so this song has sentimental value. I love it because it makes me feel nostalgic :)
So good, that fast part is my favorite, reminds me a bit of the mid section in Iron Maidens, Phantom Of The Opera, which begins at 3:26, I believe. Great stuff and fun game!
Joachim Ruud I am always reminded of the same. Up the Irons.
I came here just because that song reminded me of this lmao
Aaaah! I always thought I was the only one who noticed that - that's amazing :) It was amazing how the music changed depending on how critical your situation was
It also has a bit of Bach in it, some of the chord progressions.
Reminds a bit? At today I’m convinced the guy straight up copied from Iron Maiden

this is probably one of my favorite VGM from the sega days
This is probably the earliest memory of a song from a video game that I have. I was 7 when this game came out and my brother bought it. I still catch myself humming the song once in awhile.
Something about me has always loved the three chords at 0:53. They seem so majestic.
Wow, it's been almost 20 years since I heard this. I used to play when I was 5 with my two older bros. I still remember the song. Haha
After 23 years, this song stills scaring the shit out of me... I'm crying right now...
My mom used to play Columns when i was 2 and because of this song, she was forced to play with headphones or mute, anytime i heared the song, i started crying loud...
I remember I had no clue what was goin on when playin this as a kid but looooooooved thee music!
Just played this on a Sonics Sega genesis collection disk for PS3. Awsome fun retro game. It's fun.
I'm listening to this while re-arranging my kids bedroom. Bring it on!
I recently played Columns on the Sega Mega Drive Classics collection on the PS4. And man is it still fun to this day!
My Grandmother was our house holds resident expert at columns. 60 years old and she reached Level 210. I didnt know that it went that high when I was a kid.
This my favorite video game on SEGA collection.
yesterday Me and my sister played 30 minute long match! It was amazing
Man this takes me back
This is the music that plays when a god is contemplating suicide
Fully but out laughing at that
You made two updated Genesis song videos, and the rest about blogs. WTH I love it
this feels like 70s prog rock
Some parts sound like "In A Gadda Da Vida" a 60s song by Iron Butterfly.
OMG!!! every vaccation when I play sega i usually begin with columns it's my favourite game and also street of rage too 😁😄😆
I remember when I was a kid, playing the game and my dad came into the room just to listen to the tunes while I played. He said he liked the baroque style of the game's songs and was fascinated by its great music.
I would love to hear Smooth McGroove try his hand at doing an acapella of this. :3
+NerdyHippy i requested it years ago
He's probably got quite a list for all we know.
+NerdyHippy no doubt, we can hope though
i think it would be one of the easier ones. he would just need like 3 or 4. 5 at the most
woow, please, make this real!
I want to hear this played in a church. This is gothic af.
I remember that this was the only game that my father loved to play with me when I was a child, we spent hours on advanced levels, I always beat him, he was impressed with the speed of my pieces... one of the few things that I was better than my father in my entire life
Spent half the of my mothering days in the winters playing this with my kids. They loved it
A significant part of my childhood! Aaaaaah the early 90s. What a time....
So much memories revived! I'm very joyful now like my 7 years old myself!
Listening to this nostalgic music makes me feel as if I'm living in an epic yet sophisticated era, full of mystery, in the region of Mesopotamia.
Brings back so many awesome memories hearing this. LOVED this game.
I remember playing this as a kid on the Sega Channel. God those were good times.
I loved my Sega! It as bought for me for my birthday. I loved the colors, the graphics, and especially this music.
I looked for this music for decades !!
This song is a really nice background music for when you're playing Novice flash columns on level 5, have yourself worked all the way up to the top, but through a series of freak accident combos you work your way back down to the bottom and smash that shiny little gem.
Like I always say, every missed combo is just a bigger combo waiting to happen.
Back when Columns would have been SEGA's main head-to-head puzzler, and not Puyo Puyo. Both games are good, but still.
I remember being 4 or 5 and my mom and dad playing this game untill way past midnight :D Good times.
My father also really liked this game. We compared scores.
playing 2 player with the cousin who had a SNES at his house. Damn good times.
This song was magical as a 5 year old
Wow, this song sure takes me back. The glory days of my early childhood were all the hours spent playing my Genesis, which included this game. I remember I could never get past level 6, but I didn't really care because I had fun with it. Such good times
You too can make music like this all you really need is an older Yamaha student keyboard
I remember as a kid (and even to this day) when I play columns, i get lost while playing this song while the columns keep coming down faster and I always forget where I am
So Bach inspired
This was my bread and butter for puzzle gaming.This is pure Ultimate Nostalgia..Thank you for the upload.
Just got a Nomad the other day along with the 6-Pak. I can't put the bloody thing down, this music doesn't help hahaha. So good
They used this music in the Master System comercial, back in the early 90s. I was immediately in love.
Hello my precious childhood... How are you doing? Ah I see... I love how people grew up with these are in their late twenties and thirties.
Love this game family game night was the best all sat in the icing room with dad home from the navy all trying to beat my mums high-scores. Thanks for posting this it has made me happy
Good old times, remember playing this in early 2000's, such a memorable times.
the world for me in that time just more epic, compared nowadays, no smartphones or whatsoever.
I'm drown by memories. God, time goes fast indeed.
This tune hitnharder the faster it went! Good times and I still have the game!
Brings me back to when I was a kid :)
This game seems to associate itself with a lot of our mothers lol
I remember this well, back when my Dad played Sega Megadrive. Then, this appeared on a collection of retro games for PSP - wonderful stuff.
One of the best from the golden age of video game scores
i swear this song takes me back! i remember summers in my childhood playing this game continously. i used to know this song completely, but this is the first time i've heard in 7 or 8 years. good times!
I loved this game and the soundtrack. Playing it late at night did put me in Trance. But this was years ago. I got this game 2yrs after it came out
Me emociono mucho al escuchar esta musica! Mi adorara niñez T__T
Super Hang On, The Revenge Of Shinobi, Golden Axe, Strees Of Rage, Sonic e Collumnsss... I PLAYED SO MUCH..... I REMEMBER THIS ... MY INFANC
My god, I used to play the FUCK out of this game.
It was addictive. The music just added to it.
I genuinely obsessed over it. I would sit in school all day and count down the minutes until I could gtfo there and go play columns.
The PS1 came and that was the end of my columns obsession... crazy.
I wish i could give this a million thumbs ups!
hits you right in the NostalicFeels
Wow... I tend to have a great memory about awesome videogame soundtracks, but somehow this one slipped by... Thank you for posting this video.
my parents played this game a lot back in the day. unaware it never ends. not that didn't mind the game or its wonderful soundtrack, it did cut into my sonic time on the megadrive!
the soundtrack to this game was from another planet, it just seemed to have clarity, mystique, hypnotic vibe to it to it that defied the system specs. The fact that is was one of the first games too is even more impressive.
Memories of my grandma playing this and being damn good at it, while I as a little tyke was mezmerized by the colors and music.
songs so much better than Tetris and the sound it made after getting a column was so satisfying
God I love this game / music
this game is badass i used to play it wit my mom when i was younger.... just but the game for my PSP and 360.... nothin like the old skoo games...especially this song
this is my favorite song from that game. brings back memories
Commence nostalgiagasm.
Was just thinking about this song randomly...... Brought me back
This is actually the soundtrack version from the CD that has tunes from Columns I and II.
this brings me back when my old babysitter played this back in the day. R.I.P Velda.
