The game I played the most myself was Jewelbox. Anyone remember that? I don't remember the rules exactly, but I think it was mostly a Columns clone.
I remember having a long, long discussion with a friend one night about what was the maximum number of jewels that could possibly be destroyed in a single move. We went around and around, and finally decided it was 23 jewels, and later I went to bed. Then at like 3:00 AM I was awakened by a rustling sound, and I sat up to see a piece of paper being stuffed under my door. On it was drawn a ridiculously complex Jewelbox diagram full of lines and arrows, with the title "25 jewels will be destroyed". My friend had stayed up all night working on it. Ah, those were the days...
