What? Story time?

Let's be fair here. Bejewelled is the crack-cocaine of simple addictive games. Minesweeper, Solitaire, and Pinball are mere gateways to Bejewelled.
Bejewelled is a near perfect Skinner Box, I had a serious 'addiction' to it for a while, managed to avoid spending on it but can see how others didn't.
