L.3.W is a puzzle game, developed and published by Screen Software for the MSX personal computers in 1990, only in South Korea. It is an unlicensed clone of Columns for the system, being one, if not the first, of several clones on non-Sega hardware that were released after L.3.W (its release date also precedes the Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear versions of the game by several months). L.3.W is also compatible with MSX1 computers, as opposed of the official offering from Nihon Telenet that is compatible only with MSX2 computers or higher.
L.3.W would later receive an updated version for the Master System as Super Columns, published by Hi-Com. This version includes a new unlicensed clone of Tetris. The font was also updated as well.
