Bejeweled Deluxe

[drizzleRomanceGirl]

I've always loved this game. I used to play it all the time in my grandma's old house almost every week. ^.^ I love how the background changes every time you reach a new level, and I also enjoy the calm theme of the game. The music is also a lot of fun to listen to in this game, and I think it really fits with the gameplay itself.

I recommend trying out this game at least once.

Bejeweled Twist

Oh, also, the highest level in Bejeweled Deluxe in Classic Mode I ever reached was either Level 7 or 8, although today when I re-installed the game the highest level I could achieve was Level 4. ^.^

*edit* The highest level I reached in Timed Mode was Level 4.

I just replayed this game and reached Level 6 in Classic Mode with 10,645 points! ^.^

I was comepletely obsessed with Bejewled Blitz a few years ago. I played it for hours nonstop. My highest score was around 850,000 with the Phoenix Prism. I still have some videos on YouTube of them.

I will keep saying Bejeweled Twist.

Also, since we're on the topic of Pop Cap games.

AstroPop, yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

No million club, get out

(Kidding, just checked and my best was only 896,300. Still have 2.2m coins sitting around hah. Highest rare gem 773k/Non-boosted 309k)

I was actually thinking about making a thread for Bejeweled Blitz but I didn't think people would be interested. My highest right now is 1.5 mil (Did it on my Dad's iPad by accident, lol), and I think my highest non-boost is around 600k. But I've been playing for a few months and I've been addicted since then. I'm pretty low on coins though because I always spend my coins on Ice Bursts. But I've been saving up lately. At 275k, I believe. I don't know how you people save up all those coins, haha.

Even though you guys are better than me, I think it would be cool to play against people on FFR. I haven't played in over a year, so I haven't seen any of the new features or rare gems if any. Might give it another shot sometime. My PC died, so I couldn't play until I get a new one though.

I'm sorry, but I'm talking about Bejeweled Deluxe, not Bejeweled Twist or Bejeweled Blitz.

They're essentially the same game, just with different mechanics, more features, and flashier stuff.

Bejeweled Deluxe (Which is just bejeweled that has it's own standalone game) is a harder game for sure, mainly because the game doesn't auto-generate blocks so you'll always have a move you can do. So it tends to end quicker than the modern ones.

Also you can't really setup blocks so you can get a special block that may or may not help you out. I don't recall the original even having a special block. It just awarded you slightly more points if you got 4 instead of 3 or 5 instead of 3.

Eeeeh... I guess all in all, I'm not too fond of the very first one. I much prefer Bejeweled 2 and onwards.

I see what you mean, but I think the original game has its own merits. The music is really nice, and I have a feeling of achievement when I reach a new level because the game never gives me extra moves or special gems. Also, the background is very simple, so it's a lot more relaxing to me.

I am a huge fan of Bejeweled 3. It's available on Steam:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/78000/

I really love the variety of game modes. Each one is sufficiently different from the others to provide a lot of different ways to have fun with the 3-match concept. Very addicting, and highly recommended. I think it is really missing online leader boards though. Luckily you can compete against your Steam friends!

I have never played earlier Bejeweled games, but I might give Bejeweled Deluxe a go at some point. I found Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook a lot of fun a couple of years back; was addicted to it for a couple of months. I somehow always found 15-20 minutes every day to have at it.

EDIT: The price for Bejeweled 3 on Steam is absurd though. I wouldn't think of paying more than $10 for it.
