Puyo Puyo on the MSX2, along with the Famicom Disk System version, is the very first game in the ongoing puzzle game series. Unlike its FDS counterpart, however, this version was sold directly by Compile on disk in stores, as well as on the TAKERU software vending machine service.

Easter Eggs

Holding down the I or T keys will change the appearances of Puyos in the game. Either key must be held down after starting from the title screen until the player select dialog appears in order to work.

  • I key: This will change all the Puyos into humanoid-looking figures. The FDS version features this as a regular menu option that doesn't require a cheat code, and it would also show up in modern Puyo Puyo games as a skin.

  • T key: This will change the appearance of the Yellow Puyos into Carbuncles. Sorry for the nightmares!
