List some of your favorite puzzle games (arcade related of course). I'm also looking for some good NEO-GEO puzzle games...

Lets start off with the usual:

Puzzle Bobble series (also known as Bust-A-Move on the Neo Geo)...

Classic puzzle game... probably one of the first to really get people hooked on arcade puzzle games. I still prefer the original Puzzle Bobble to any of the others. I think it's because they sort of "kidified" the rest of the series after number 1.

Puzz Loop series

Also a kickass puzzle game... ESPECIALLY when using a spinner to control the gun...though the joystick actually works pretty decent as well, but nothing like the spinner.
 
Solomon's Key for me thanks. Starts off relatively easy, but after a few boards it gets real hard trying to figure out how to unlock the door and get out alive.

Tetris. All other puzzle games worship this game as it sits high on its throne in Valhalla. Most every variation is good too.

I like the simplicity of the Gals Panic games where you are essentailly playing Qix with boobies.
 
+1 for Tetris. It doesnt get better.

Though, the NES version is the best of all of them IMO. The arcade version is cool, but nothing beats the NES version.

I agree, Tetris is a good one too. Currently I have Tetris and Dr. Mario on my Red Tent. Dr. Mario is another top 5 puzzle game for me.

Never played it... I think I will have to fire it up on MAME today. THANKS!
 
Puzzle Bobble gets a shit ton of love in my place. My wife loves it. I really haven't found another NEO puzzler as good. And, I have had most if not all of them. Puzzle Bobble is the NEO king.

I just picked up an Atari Tetris board and stuck that in my 25" JAMMA cab. You know what? It's frickin' AWESOME! Seriously, it's sooo much fun. Great music, great level progression, amazing 2p head-to-head game. LOVE IT. Also should be getting the Disney Magical Tetris board today or tomorrow. Can't wait to check it out. Tetris on the Nintendo Vs. SUCKS compared to Atari Tetris. That's the Tengen version. LAME.

Dr. Mario is also big here.
 
Ataxx - Great game... but the computer gets BRUTAL after the 2nd or so game...plus it's a credit for time game, which sort of blows.... I prefer games to continue if I am good at `em...

Uo Poko - Awesome game... strange concept (cat under water?).... one of my favorites!

Klax - I find Klax to be merely OK... still fun to fire up and play once in a while.

Tetris - Of course the great granddaddy of puzzle games still holds up today... I sort of dig the newer Asian versions that are insanely fast.

Columns - Another decent game... decent enough that I got it for the Wii to play too.

Puzzle Fighter - Another fun Capcom game... with good graphics to boot.
 
Tetris (Atari version). It's the god of puzzle games.

Runners up:
Columns
Puzzle Bobble series (Bust A Move in U.S.)
Money Puzzle Exchanger
KLAX
Puzzled [kind of like Tetris] (Neo Geo)
 
No columns love here? Money Puzzle/Idol Exchanger is also one of my favorites.

Tetris is the best game every made, end of story :D

I would love to actually enjoy Ataxx, but it's just too damn hard, too fast :/

Uo Poko - Awesome game... strange concept (cat under water?).... one of my favorites!

I remember hearing good things about this, but I don't think I ever actually tried it. I may have to try it out in MAME.
