I was so hooked on Bejeweled, that I would play the game with my PDA's sideways, with two styluses in each hand, upside down and to make things more challenging, by selecting shapes or colors only. Being somewhat nocturnal, playing a game like Bejeweled or Handmark's Monopoly against three players actually mellowed me out for a good night's sleep. One fateful night at 11:00 pm, I decided to play a game of Bejeweled before bedtime. I ended up playing all night until it was time to go to work 8 hours later. At that time, I happened to work at PalmGear. My Palm OS cohorts gathered around as I proudly showed the high score of 1 million plus points; later that morning, I picked up an additional 300,000 points. After emailing Astraware, they in their loving British humor, told me to back away from the Sony and seek much needed therapy! I got hooked on Bejeweled 2 as well, playing for stretches of two hours at a time on my Zodiac, outlasting the battery life at times. I actually ruined the digitizer on the Tungsten E on the lower right corner with Bejeweled 2. But I'm proud to say I have been Bejeweled-free for two years now. However, I must say that Bejeweled is the perfect game to play while going shopping with the wife. There is no better way to pass the time in a mall. While Bejeweled has driven me insane at times, it has also kept me from going insane with boredom at the mall. Such is the delicate balance of insanity (gaming or shopping) ! That's my story and I'm sticking with it!

But I’m proud to say I have been Bejeweled-free for two years now. However, I must say that Bejeweled is the perfect game to play while going shopping with the wife. There is no better way to pass the time in a mall. While Bejeweled has driven me insane at times, it has also kept me from going insane with boredom at the mall.

That’s my story and I’m sticking with it!

Yeah, she uses the Treo as a cell phone, but she loves Palm games. She likes Bookworm, Bubblesnooker, and a few others, but like your friend, Judie, her favorite is Bejewelled. She has played it pretty much everywhere. The edge of the pool here in Rollingwood. The edge of the pond at the base of a waterfall where the kids where swimming. On a cross-country trip in our van. In countless doctor's waiting rooms. Laying in bed trying to get sleepy. It's definitely her game of choice. Me, I prefer Backgammon, bubblesnooker, and (sorry) Ultimate Bowling Fighter. I have also gone through phases where I really liked Meteor, or AnotherBall, or MicroQuad. I also like Championship Cribbage.
