Best time waster of all time. Loads really fast, it's cheap and guranteed hours and hours of fun when you have nothing to do. I wouldn't be able to live without it!

It's Bejeweled. Everyone plays Bejeweled. It is like Tetris. You just waste time with it.

The original game that started it all. While it doesn't have as many features as the sequels, it's still very nice to pick up once in a while.

Soundtrack is very good for an early 2000's game. When I played Classic, much of the music is VERY recognizable from 2 (first few parts) and Twist (Blitz: 1 MINUTE REMAINING). Come Action mode, you won't be prepared.

Bejeweled 1, what a classic...like, really classic.

Classic as in no hypercubes, no flame gems, no extra modes (Action's just a time limit, doesn't change much). No offense, but if you've been living in the biggest rock ever and you're new to match-3 games, you should probably just skip to Bejeweled 3. Not to say Bejeweled 1 is bad, it's pretty good and nostalgic, especially its music, but nowadays it's just... Meh. (Still worth giving it a positive review thoughhh!) If you're a big Popcap fan like me, go ahead and get this or wait for a huge sale.

There are better versions of this game, but I still recommend it because there's nothing really wrong with it. I bought this version primarily because of the nostalgia of listening to Skaven tracks and the fact I used to play it on my laptop at my friend's restaurant in the mid 2000's while I waited for him to have lunch with me. (The browser version was free back then.) If you don't have any specific reason to play this version, it might be worth your while to check out a later version.

My friend passed away in late 2021, so I got this game specifically to bring me back in a small way to those days in his restaurant. The sting of his death has dulled since then, but I don't think I'll ever stop missing him.

10/10 good time waster

A classic. And PopCap's oldest and first ever games. Originally first called Diamond Mine until they change it to Bejeweled, It started as a flash/shockwave game before it became a Deluxe game. So if you enjoy match 3 puzzle games this is the game for you.

The best thing to be invented since sliced bread

This is the first game that PopCap was created.

Bejeweled is the Godfather of the match 3 genre, and with a game so fundamentally simple, any iteration of it is pretty fun. That said, this is a very primitive version and its age is painfully obvious. If you like checking out and/or collecting old-school PC games, then this one (along with the rest of the Bejeweled games on Steam) is worth grabbing when it goes on sale for $1. Definitely not worth $5. If you don't like the power ups in later iterations then I can see this game being worth it as well, this game has no power ups, just match until you run out of moves.

If you're going to get any Bejeweled game on Steam, though, just get Bejeweled 3. It's the same price as the rest and is without a doubt the definitive Bejeweled experience.
