What kind of gamer are YOU?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm pretty old school when it comes to games so...

SHOOTER: Stargate (my favorite game ever on a standalone machine), Defender (Atari), Twin Eagle (Standalone)
PUZZLE: Bejeweled (PC and Palm OS), Tetris (PC and Palm OS), Lines (Palm OS), Columns (PC)
WORD/TRIVIA: Scrabble (PC), Jeopardy (PC), Bookworm (Palm OS)

3 years ago, there was a great, addictive variation on Bejeweled (not by Popcap) that was a shockwave game on some advertising site (no idea what the product was). I'd love to DL and play it (alas, no luck on Google) but I think it was called something similar to "The Queen Game".

It was like Bejeweled, where you had to line up the jewels to make matching patterns. However, the jewels were arranged in a series of concentric circles, and you had to "turn the dial" clockwise or counter clockwise to make patterns. So satisfying!

Anyone else find that you play a game for 5 minutes to how long you think 5 minutes should be, only to find an hour or more has passed? You're left there thinking, "I was only playing for 5 minutes!!"

Every single day.
