[edit] Edit:

Bejeweled is like tetris attack, not tetris. It shares few elements with tetris at all.

• Bejeweled is more simple than Panel de Pon/Tetris Attack though, it's kind of like...TA without moveing or something. Perhaps reword it to that effect, might help. Melodia Chaconne 12:53, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Bejeweled has also been made into a mobile phone version, and the version distributed by Jamdat has become wildly popular within the mobile phone world.

[edit] Jewels?

Bejeweled 2 Deluxe screens refer to "gems", and presumedly all versions of Bejeweled do. Also, the article links to gemstone. Why then does the article refer to "jewels"? Brian Jason Drake 07:23, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Sounds like a simple mistake to me. AFter all, the game's name is Bejeweled, not Begemmed. — Frecklefoot | Talk 14:26, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that the game refers to the objects as "gems" in all the games, so perhaps it should say gems instead of jewels to maintain consistency with the game itself? I'd rather double-check before I make any edits. - S. Komae (talk) 21:43, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

I already changed all references to jewels to refer to gems in this edit, except for the one in the Twilight mode description, which was added later (I've just changed that one too). Brian Jason Drake 03:20, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hidden modes

My understanding is these only exist in Bejeweled 2 Deluxe, and are specific to the original mode. The article is not clear on this point. Brian Jason Drake 03:22, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

I've moved the information to the "Hidden parts" section and expanded it a bit, but haven't confirmed it (I can confirm that high levels also trigger hidden modes - I've done it myself.). I removed the example of a hidden mode as these things are supposed to be hidden and it isn't really necessary (we don't give details on the visual effects either).

[edit] Zoo Keeper first?

I know that Zoo Keeper is a bit older than people realize. There was a PS1 release in japan as part of the SuperLite series, and maybe older versions than that. Also popcap are notorious thieves and Zuma is blatantly lifted Puzz Loop, which raises my suspicions even more. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Frogacuda (talk • contribs).

Be that as it may, unless you cite a source, you can't put such assertions in a Wikipedia article. Doing so is WP:OR which is completely against Wikipedia policy. You can mention that it's similar, but you can't accuse PopCap of "idea piracy" without citing a repudable source. It is entirely possible that they came up with a similar idea indpendently. — Frecklefoot | Talk 21:55, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
