Addictive, Addictive, Addictive [Posted on 2003-02-01]
If you hear one word about this game, it is almost certainly "addictive". It seems so innocent, with its different crystal-like shapes and pretty colors, but then it sucks you in for hours and hours. It took several months to "break free", but I did. I still play it occasionally, and show it to others, but I have to be careful -- as the saying goes "once an addict, always an addict". Wanna try some?

This is a cool set of games [Posted on 2003-04-08]
This is a nice set of games for someone who has about an hour or so of time, to dawdle.

These games don't turn your brain to mush, but challenge you to recognize patterns and make strategic choices.

Also the Bejeweled game I find very pleasant to look at.

Unlike games like Myst (which I absolutely love), you will be playing this inexpensive game over and over.

Addictive! [Posted on 2003-11-10]
I've played this game for a few years now, but, ummm.... I didn't know it was an actual game people bought... There are many places on the web where this game can be downloaded for FREE. Do some searching before you purchase.

This is a great game. I got addicted to playing it on my mom's palmpilot and when it was time to go back home, I had an irresistable urge to play the game. My parents found the game at a computer store and sent the pc version to me for christmas.

Keep in mind, if your pc runs on Windows XP, you'll have to do a search for a Bejeweled/Alchemy patch otherwise it will not install to your computer.

Bejeweled is great but Alchemy is fantastic! [Posted on 2005-01-01]
Bejeweled is very similar to one of the Mahjongg Master 5 games where you match 3 or more of a kind to score points and rearrange the board. Alchemy is more challenging in that you have to match objects on the board according to the colors and shapes of the other objects around it.

Bejeweled can be *mastered* in a few hours (clearing the board of the upper level matches before tackling the lower level objects and rearranging objects in order to maximize multiple simultaneous matches). Alchemy is significantly more challenging. I played last night for about three hours and had some success at the easy level but even the average level was considerably more difficult.

If you're looking for a pleasant diversion for a few hours, Bejeweled is more than adequate. However, if you want to push your brain more, Alchemy is the one to select. Having both of these games in the same package is a heck of a deal!
