Ghostlop

Ghostlop is an unreleased, head-to-head arcade style puzzle game featuring a unique mix of elements from Puzzle Bobble and Breakout, with a color-switching mechanic reminiscent of Silhouette Mirage and Ikaruga. It was in development by Data East and planned to be published by SNK for the Neo Geo MVS (arcade), Neo Geo AES (home) and Neo Geo CD. You aim shots the same way as in Puzzle Bobble, but there are only two main colors of bubbles to destroy--or in this case ghosts. The A and B buttons determine whether your shot is red or blue. If your shot is the same color as the ghosts it hits, it will cut through them like in a bonus level of Alleyway. If it's the opposite color, it will bounce off without doing damage. You can switch as often as you like (even while the ball is bouncing around) so if there are a lot of red ghosts surrounded by a layer of blue ghosts, you could detach all of them from the top of the screen by throwing a blue shot to pass through the outer layer, switching to red to move through the middle, and then switching back to blue to pass out the other side, dropping the majority of the ghosts and putting a lot of garbage on your opponent's screen. As your ball bounces around you're free to move your character back and forth along the bottom of the screen, and you need to catch the ball when it comes back or suffer the penalty of having the pieces lower one notch. The action is fast-paced and smooth. The lighthearted characters and rockabilly music add a lot of charm that is missing from newer puzzle games like Lumines and Planet Puzzle League. In February 2003, a MVS prototype cartridge of Ghostlop was acquired by video game collector Billy Pitt from an Ohio-based arcade operator, who received it via SNK. Around the same time period, a ROM image of the complete game was leaked online by homebrew developer Neobitz.
Bruce and McCoy are 2 ghost hunters who have to eradicate all the Great King of Terror's minions to save the world from his threat.

Heisei Tensai Bakabon: Susume! Bakabons is a competitive falling-block puzzle game based on the 1990 animated series Heisei Tensai Bakabon. Pairs of blocks in four colors drop from the top of the screen, and the goal is to line up two or more blocks of the same color, with another pair of a different matching color at either end. Any blocks on top of the ones cleared will fall into the open space, potentially comboing together into chains. Clearing multiple sets of blocks in a combo or chain will send garbage blocks to the opponent's playfield, and also charge up a super move that triggers automatically at a certain threshold which can clear a large number of blocks from the playfield. The game has a single-player story mode in which Bakabon's dad, refusing to wake up in the morning, gets sucked up by his wife's vacuum cleaner and sent to a strange puzzle world where he must defeat the other characters from the show in puzzle battles. There is also a two-player versus mode with nine playable characters.

Flash Point is a variant of Tetris, with the various shapes of the tetrominos and their rotation are identical to Sega's Tetris . What makes the game different from a standard Tetris clone is its objective; each stage already contains a pattern of blocks, usually arranged as symbols, characters, or other images. Among these blocks are several bombs. The goal is to make these bombs detonate by clearing out the rows they are in. Once all the bombs have been detonated, the stage "explodes", and the player advances to the next one.

Risky Challenge is a story-based puzzle game running on Irem's M-90 arcade system. Vic and Vinnie are professional treasure hunters, who, one day went down deep into the dungeon in search of treasure belonging to an ancient kingdom. While they were exploring, an earthquake causes the dungeon to collapse, trapping them inside. Now they must reach the top by making use of falling blocks. Like Tetris, these blocks can be rotated left or right and dropped down, and a life is lost when a stack of blocks reach beyond the top of each screen. Using these blocks, guide the protagonists through each stage, being careful not to trap them. Occasionally, a bomb will fall, and this can be used to destroy unwanted blocks or any monsters on screen. The two protagonists will always be on the move, so watch where they are going. Spend too much time in each of the stages, and water will rise up from the bottom of the screen. Lives are also lost when Vic or Vinnie get crushed by a falling block, they come into contact with a monster, fall to their deaths, or get drowned by the rising water
