[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. —Preceding unsigned comment 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)

[edit] Advertising prohibited

I just want to make this clear: using Wikipedia to advertise your pet project is prohibited. An anon user keeps adding links to Linux Bejeweled clones. Sorry, that's not an appropriate use of Wikipedia. There are hundreds of clones of Bejeweled, what makes these so notable apart from the fact that this user likes them. I am reverting them AGAIN. If you have a problem with it, bring it up here. — Frecklefσσt | Talk 18:34, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reference Article

Here's an article which could be a good reference about the development of Bejeweled from (or at least similarity to) earlier puzzle games: http://www.jesperjuul.net/text/swapadjacent/

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Ssc-bbf-3inarow.jpg

Image:Ssc-bbf-3inarow.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I think the reason it is included in the aritcle is to give a visual reference example of a "match three" game aparently influenced by Bejeweled. - Logotu (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 16:45, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] History section restored

I have restored the History section of this article, which was deleted on 22 February 2008 by 64.8.161.251 without any explanation (looks like vandalism to me). If there was a good reason for the deletion, please discuss it here. Thanks. —Slowspace (talk) 23:18, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
