Puzzle games are relatively easy to develop and to take from dedicated arcade units, to home consoles, to PDAs and mobile phones.
Tetris is widely regarded as the pinnacle of its genre, despite not having any real advertising nor a cute character to lust after, unless of course the "T" shaped block (or whatever) does anything for you. Minesweeper? is worth a mention merely because of its huge installed user base (it comes bundled with the Microsoft Windows operating system).
