RE: Bejeweled again?
The current BEAR market probably has something to do with it. It would have been a lot more popular if it was introduced during the bubble of 1995-1999.
Nice game anyway. Thanks for your efforts.

Wish Handango had limited the nominees to programs introduced or updated with major revisions in the last year.
