60 DAYS OF GAMING: DECADE ANNIVERSARY - DAY 24: Favourite classic game

Then: Arkanoid

Now: Bejeweled
 

The only real reason I'm switching it up is that what counts as a "classic" has shifted in my perception.

There are about 8 million Bejeweled clones, sequels, and offshoots, some more successful than others (Candy Crush is a Bejeweled clone, for example), some adding tweaks and twists to the formula with varying degrees of success. Its simple but wildly popular and inviting formula (which in itself is a more complex Connect 4) qualifies it as a classic. Not to mention the original came out like -Christ I'm old- 20 years ago.

The point is, I often find myself playing one on my phone when waiting or *ahem* using the bathroom. So there it goes.
