Puzzle games in video game history
The puzzle game rests on logic and mental agility, in simple rules with formidable depth. The genre exploded in 1984 with Tetris, which became one of the best-selling games in history, and then branched into falling-block puzzlers, matching games, narrative brain-teasers and indie creations.
Its classics are universal: Tetris remains the absolute benchmark, Puyo Puyo turned it into a competitive duel, Lemmings blended thought and action and Baba Is You reinvented the genre by playing with its own rules. Dr. Mario, Lumines and Puzzle Bobble complete an inexhaustible genre.
For collectors, puzzle games range from very common cartridges to rarer editions and imports. On RomWize, every puzzle game is retested and re-rated for 2026, with its rarity index and collector value (loose, complete and new) by region; the 'by console' section above helps you find the best, machine by machine.
