How to Play Bejeweled Twist
Bejeweled Twist features jewels, locks and bombs on its game board. Game players must attempt to match the like gems in groups of three or more to score as many points as possible before a "Bomb Gem" comes onto the game board. Bomb Gems can end your game if you do not clear them off the board. Bejeweled Twist can only be downloaded and played on computers running Windows XP or Windows Vista. A free 60-minute trial version of the game is available for download, with the full version costing $9.95 as of December 2009.
