Because of this, this game will work on any current generation Nintendo handheld. Secondly, Majesco released it for Game Boy Advance. First off, one of the best and most addictive Internet games has been made portable, so you can take it anywhere without the need for a PC. There are two reasons why this Game Boy version, which is exactly like the Yahoo Games version, makes Bookworm one of the best GBA games. Pretty soon, ten more minutes will pass unnoticed. You think, 'Okay, I'm only going to spell one more word and then I'm done.' But then you notice another word. It's incredibly basic, yet incredibly addicting.

But obtaining the rights to Bookworm was one of the smartest moves they've made, even if you can play it for free on Yahoo.Īnyone who has played Bookworm knows that it is a simple word game, like a Scrabble board with letters aligned into columns, and you are to form words out of the arrangement of letters. You gotta ask yourself, 'Why would any publisher want to go to the trouble to make a game and then charge $20 (original MSRP) that you can go to Yahoo Games and play for free?' Majesco certainly has done their fair share of bad games. They also obtain the rights to simple games, like Super Collapse II and, in this case, Bookworm. They make one game, and as Nintendo releases a new Game Boy, Majesco re-releases the same game (cough cough Super Black Bass cough).

Over the years, Majesco has taken full advantage of the Game Boy.

Though Kapalka has been credited with nearly all of PopCap's early successes, the company hasn't been afraid to bring in outside development talent, giving rise to published hits like Pixelus and Insaniquarium, though Kapalka has continued to produce follow-ups to some of the core franchises that helped put PopCap on the map.Bookworm for GameBoy Advance - a MUST for any Bkwrm fan Partnerships that extended PopCap games onto casual gaming portals like Yahoo Games, and Microsoft GameZone, not to mention heavy porting to devices like cell phones and other non-Windows platforms only fueled the developers' growth and ensured that Kapalka and company would be financially well off for some time to come. Alchemy, Zuma, Typer Shark and BookWorm followed with Kapalka on Game Design for the lot of 'em, effectively locking in PopCap as the source for casual games and giving rise to the idea of offering a free regular version and a fairly cheap 'Deluxe' full edition. With the ridiculous success of Bejeweled under his belt, Kapalka went to work pulling inspiration for new causal titles. How popular? The follow-up to Bejeweled Deluxe (PopCap's first commercial game the original was released for free) has been downloaded over 100 million times.

PopCap actually began as Sexy Action Cool (yes, really, and it was based on a Seattle Metro bus ad for the movie Desperado), but its final name was far more mainstream, helping Kapalka's first PopCap title, the now-nigh-ubiquitous Bejeweled gain more traction and become insanely popular.

If the casual games boom can be traced back to even a general area, the folks at PopCap Games must certainly be at the epicenter, and Jason Kapalka - along with Briant Fiete and John Vechey - is at the center of PopCap.
