So I tried it, just a couple of quick games. Ok, no big deal. Then on my 4th or 5th game, it lasted 45 minutes! I couldn't get the damn thing to stop! I was almost late for work, Sis. Thanks a lot for showing us bejeweled!!!

Soeur...I just came over here to report that I have gotton precious little done since I discovered bejeweled. I don't know whether a thank you or punnishment is in order. :) A question....that streak of light that goes across diagonally from time to time....does that mean anything? I haven't stopped long enough to read about the game. LOVE the sounds.

I myself will be thanking Soeur! If you are playing bejeweled, Bat, you can't be placing bets about Survivor, Mole, or TI with my money!!

Thanks Soeur!!!!!

Bat, please feel free to play to your heart's content.

so glad you like the game. It really came in handy a few times when there was a lot of space between members' posts. The sounds are great, just like money in the bank

Sis, discovered how addictive that Bejeweled is lastnight, then I come home this afternoon and my husband is trying to find a "game" that a friend of his was playing at work. I asked him what it was called and he said, "Bejeweled". Hahahahaha! :)

I've been playing bejeweled for several weeks now....I reached over 10,000 once, but can't seem to master it again. Guess I'll keep trying! Seems a good enough reason to play it for hours on end, or until my eyes can't focus on the screen any more. Bamagirl is addicted too....LOL

I know someone who said, "I played that Bejeweled game for and while and got 75,000, is that a good score?" And guess who that was? Our very own Lancecrossfire. Now doesn't he deserve congratualtions? Aaaagggggghhhhhh!!! I thought I was doing good when i got 22,000 the other night! Man, I've got a lot of playing to do!

Hehe, you know I luv ya Lance! Really, that is a fantastic score, and let me be the first the congradulate you!

Thanks Maire. On level 1 I think it's more of an issue of thanking the random generator. It has to give you the opportunity to begin with. I seen to either get good scores or get 200 points (no plays available in just a minute or two).

I think level 2 and 3 is more about the player's abilities to recognize matches within a decent time frame. I still suck at those 2 levels. LOL

Does anyone have a strategy with bejewled? I have not paid much attention other than opting for the across option rather than the vertical when there is a choice. Seems to create more action.

Once in awhile you get a choice between 2 moves to get 3 or more in a row. In game 1, you have time to look over what both will give you. I also start from the top and work my way down. That way getting the matches higher up doesn't affect losing the ones lower down. The only 2 things I have figured out so far.

Not even sure it's the best way to go! LOL

I haven't figured out a strategy yet, if there is one even. I look for all possible plays regardless of whether they are horizontal or vertical. Of course, I look to see if one move is better than the other by seeing if I can knock out more than just 3 at a time. I don't concentrate in one area - top or bottom - as I've heard some say they do.

Levels 2 and 3 are very annoying to me. The sound is awful for one thing, (though muting the speakers is an obvious remedy) and the animation of the time bar at the bottom makes my cursor jump around so fast that I cannot even see it. Level 1 suits me just fine. :)

A trick I learned by accident: to pause the game, just press the the space bar on your keyboard.

Sis, you owe me $55.00! I just went to my massage therapist (usually see her for headache maintainance issues) and she had to work on my wrists nearly the whole hour. You and your Bejeweled be damned!!!!

Are you trying to get me hooked on another game? You must be nuts, I refuse to even click on that link. Anybody care to share some bejeweled scores. I want to know if I am any good or not. Tell me yours and I'll tell you mine!! LOL :) :)

ok, I have really grown to care for all of you ((guys)). That compels me to confess that after a particularly long session of double trouble my hand resembled a CLAW.

My highest bejeweled was only 10,000. I tend to get around 6000 or very low when I run out of moves quickly. I clearly need to work on strategy. Thanks Lance that makes sense. I tend to go to the bottom first. I'll change and see what happens.
