I love the Jewel Match series. My favorite is Jewel Match IV...I play it over and over and over. I bought Snowcapes on sale to play when it got closer to Christmas. It's now November and I've started playing, but I've got to tell you, it is HARD! Nothing like Jewel Match IV. Yes the graphics are great and I like the music; it makes me feel warm and fuzzy and Christmassy. But it is very challenging, and while I like the challenge, I can't play it for very long at one sitting. Earning enough money to purchase the amulets takes quite a long time, and the cost is steep, too steep in my opinion. They should have made it easier to purchase the amulets which makes it a little easier to play, but they didn't. But I love the sounds and the moving ornaments and things, and I have gotten addicted to finishing all the levels. I recommend this game if you like a slow moving match game with great challenge.

This is one of the first computer games I have ever played. I enjoyed it then and after 5 years I still go back and play now and then because it is never the same. It's always challenging and fun. I'm not into story lines or little side games, but this game has it for those who like a diversion.
I love the colors, the sounds, and the challenge. Simply enjoyable. Well worth the money spent.
I've downloaded just about all the TM games for trial and most all of them are so tedious and boring I got rid of them quick. The Adelantado Trilogy is super cool with it's click and drag feature and wide game board to play on. The graphics are incredible and the music fits the story to a "T".
You can play untimed or relaxed, normal or hard mode which is a plus in my book.
What I like best is that you are the boss who oversees the production workers. You have them build the sawmills, gardens, farms, granite mines, watch towers etc. and then the workers go about doing their jobs without you having to constantly click on them to do their jobs. You also don't have to constantly click on food items on the trail or "income" money or any of that stuff. You are free to go explore the territory and interact with the Indians. You do need to upgrade buildings and refresh them periodically however, so you do need to keep an eye on your workers and what they're doing. And you start out with several workers in a house, not just one.
There is a lot of clicking you have to do in the sense that you need to clear the fields of bushes so the workers can build the structures. You also need to break open many clay pots and wooden barrels to find gold hidden inside and other special items you need to advance in the game play. This feature keeps you busy while your workers increase the amount of the resources.
Gotta say that the addition of dinosaurs and cavemen for distraction is kind of weird in my book since they didn't even exist then but I guess some people like that feature. I also don't like it when Don Diego breaks open a wooden barrel or a clay pot that has a bomb inside. Then he's down for the count until the worker from a healer's hut comes to his rescue. But that's really just a minor issue.
I play this game over and over and am challenged every time. Loads of fun and well worth your money. Simply the best!
I recommend this game!

This was my very first time management game and I absolutely love it! I've been playing it everyday for 3 months straight, and it's a challenge every time. There are so many levels of learning...it's like the gift that keeps on giving.
The graphics are incredibly real and detailed, and the music seems to fit the play very well. The developers have paid attention to detail, even down to the workers standing there tapping their feet, and looking at you and waving when they are idle and ready for a task.
You start with one worker, and the object is to clear paths, gather resources, and build structures to create wood, diamonds, stones and water, plus others. You can use up to three men to work for you, plus you have characters that kill robbers and monsters that are in the way of the workers.
You can play timed or relaxed mode. I started in relaxed, but graduated to timed mode and really enjoy the challenge. There are quite a few achievements that you get credit for, and if you get all of them, and if you play timed mode and achieve expert in all of the levels, then 3 bonus stations open up at the end of the game.
I highly recommend this game. I have downloaded trials for several other time management, but this one is the best.
I recommend this game!

Not an easy game although I find it a bit easier than the first Professor Fizzwizzle. Totally engrosses me trying to figure out how to get through each level. Lots of hints if you need them. Great sound effects, always make me laugh. Can be frustrating at times trying to figure out the route that will work, but that's part of the fun! I play this game over and over even though now I can get through it in one long sitting. I especially love the portals. Great game all around!
I love both Professor Fizzwizzle games. I play over and over. They are a challenge every time. The graphics are excellent, the sounds are so funny, and the Professor cracks me up with his little antics while he is waiting for you to think through a move. A big plus is that there are three levels so you never run out of challenges. I'm hoping they come out with another game but for now there are only two. Well worth your money!
