What are some good puzzle games for the Famicom

[TMBlitzK]

Lode Runner's pretty fun. I've got it preloaded on a Famiclone a got a while ago. So I'm guessing championship Lode Runner is much harder right?

Much, much harder. I can beat the first handful of stages on Lode Runner without much of a problem. But I've tried I think the first, second, and third levels of Championship Lode Runner, and not come especially close to beating any of them. It is kind of cool how certain games (Championship Lode Runner) let you start on pretty much any level you want. It's kind of like an honor system in place of passwords/save games.

Kickle Cubicle is my favorite fami/nes puzzle game! It's so fun and pretty cheap. Irem makes puzzle games almost as good as they make shooters.

Magic Jewelry

Magic Jewelry is the pirate port of Sega's Columns, right? I have that on a pirate cart, and it's the only reason I've kept the cart. It's pretty decent.

Kickle Cubicle is definitely worth playing. It's in a similar category as Lolo, but with more shooting. I have it for NES and FC (Meikyuu Shima), but I've never actually played them side-by-side. I know the NES version is perfectly linear, while the FC version actually lets you play the stages in a world in any order you want (which is pretty cool, if you find any of the stages frustrating). I haven't done a good side-by-side comparison of the two, but I think the FC version may actually have more enemies in the stages than the NES version.

Yes precisely, it's my favorite pirate port ever! It functions perfectly.

Just in case, here's a list of my recommended NES puzzle games. Most of these were also released on the Famicom, so you can always pick them up that way if you're a strictly, 60-pins only kind of gamer.
