This is a nice set of games for someone who has about an hour or so of time, to dawdle.
These games don't turn your brain to mush, but challenge you to recognize patterns and make strategic choices.
Also the Bejeweled game I find very pleasant to look at.
Unlike games like Myst (which I absolutely love), you will be playing this inexpensive game over and over.
Best Games Ever!!!!!!!!!

Bejewled is one of the best games I have ever played. I like the music and sound to it. You make rows of three jewels in it. Alchemy is really fun also. You try to make rows of gold. Don't discard to much! So buy Bejewled and Alchemy. They are both really fun! It is worth the money. Have Fun!!
Fun and addictive

Both games are easy to learn, and fun to play. Be warned they are both very addictive! I liked the graphics & sounds, especially the hissing from the fire, in Alchemy,warning you that one more discard will end the game! Levels of difficulty can be increased as you progress. Cool, non violent, games both adults and youths would enjoy playing.
Addicting to say the least!

I and my coworkers used to play these at work, before the company we work for blocked the site. We all loved them!!! When I saw this cd at Office Depot one day I had to buy it! It is so addicting, especially bejeweled. Although there is one thing that is not addictive about it and that's the music-it's rather annoying, so I just turn it off. This is one of the few games that don't need "patches" to make it work correctly.
Very Addicting

I played this game after my daughter found it on the web. I am now addicted to it. I work graveyard and come home and play it and find myself not going to sleep. Boy how time flies when your having fun! I finally went out and bought it.
Bejeweled is great but Alchemy is fantastic!

Bejeweled is very similar to one of the Mahjongg Master 5 games where you match 3 or more of a kind to score points and rearrange the board. Alchemy is more challenging in that you have to match objects on the board according to the colors and shapes of the other objects around it.
Bejeweled can be *mastered* in a few hours (clearing the board of the upper level matches before tackling the lower level objects and rearranging objects in order to maximize multiple simultaneous matches). Alchemy is significantly more challenging. I played last night for about three hours and had some success at the easy level but even the average level was considerably more difficult.
If you're looking for a pleasant diversion for a few hours, Bejeweled is more than adequate. However, if you want to push your brain more, Alchemy is the one to select. Having both of these games in the same package is a heck of a deal!
Addictive!

I've played this game for a few years now, but, ummm.... I didn't know it was an actual game people bought... There are many places on the web where this game can be downloaded for FREE. Do some searching before you purchase.

If you hear one word about this game, it is almost certainly "addictive". It seems so innocent, with its different crystal-like shapes and pretty colors, but then it sucks you in for hours and hours. It took several months to "break free", but I did. I still play it occasionally, and show it to others, but I have to be careful -- as the saying goes "once an addict, always an addict". Wanna try some?
If you have a life, don't play this game!

This game is soooo addictive, that I can't even begin to describe the draw of it. I thought this would be a silly game, but I found myself playing it for hours and hours on end! If you don't have a lot of spare time, don't guy this game, as it will take up what little you have! This game is great for kids 8 and up and most adults like it better than children!
Bejeweled is great!

If you like Tetris you'll love Bejeweled! What makes it so satisfying is the SOUND of the jewels clicking down. Its this special extra sensation that adds tons to the enjoyment of the game. I have not yet played alchemy -- I look forward to it also.
