A history of matching tile games (like Tetris, Dr. Mario, Bejeweled). Don't miss the family tree of matching tile games about a fourth of the way down the page (larger version here). I'm no matching tile game scholar, but where the hell is Snood?
Update: Aha, it's because Snood is a rip-off of Puzzle Bobble. (thx, greg & kevin)
