Games - General Information

Whatever happened to...

Looking for a game you remember playing or purchasing on PopCap.com but can no longer find on the site?  

I bought a game called "<game> Deluxe", but now I can only find <game>?

In the early days of PopCap.com, we started out with only free online versions of our games. Then, when we first put up a full, downloadable version of a game for sale, we wanted to name it clearly, so everyone would know it was still the same game, but a bigger, better version of it!

Eventually, though, it seemed like the distinction was clear, and having this extra word in all of our titles didn't have as much of a purpose.  So we just dropped it from new game titles.  And then, for clarity and esthetics, we dropped it from all game titles.  But don't worry, the games themselves are still the exact same "deluxe" versions they always were; they're just now referred to only as the "download" versions.

I bought Diamond Mine or Bespelled years ago. 

Diamond Mine was the original title for the game Bejeweled.  Bespelled was once an alternate title for Bookworm.  Click here for instructions on locating old orders.

I loved playing Candy Train!  Is that game still available?

Candy Train was one of our free online games for many years, and it was taken off the site, but it was not forgotten!  We heard from scores of loyal Candy Train-ers who missed conducting that sweet sweet ride, and we are proud to have released it as a free app for iPhone/iPod Touch, and iPad!  Visit iTunes or the App Store to download your sugary fix today.

What about those multi-player online games like Piggy Poker and Psychobabble?

Unfortunately, we had to remove those from the site in August 2006.  We were unable to monitor the live interactions closely enough to maintain a safe, family-friendly gaming environment for all visitors.  We haven't forgotten these beloved games, and we do hope to find a way to bring them back in some form!

I know there used to be more titles on the Online Games page...

You're right; we regret that some of the free online games had to be removed due to updates in technology that made them incompatible with newer browsers.  But the download versions are still available for most of these games, and we hope you'll give them a try!  

But hey, some games have disappeared from the Download Games page too!

You're not wrong.  We've reorganized the page, and so the list at the top isn't fully loaded with all the available titles for download from PopCap.com.  Scroll down the page, and you'll find a category called The PopCap Vault!  That's where we've moved a number of classic games such as the original Bejeweled, so as to let our newest games have center stage.

There are still some other games you may notice are missing.  Unfortunately, as new Operating Systems have been released, some of our oldest games were just not found to work properly on the new systems.  We removed the games from the site rather than cause greater confusion and frustration.  The games removed from the site for this reason are:

  • Alchemy for Mac
  • Atomica (PC)
  • Bejeweled for Mac
  • Big Money for Mac
  • Bonnie's Bookstore for Mac
  • Mummy Maze (PC/Mac)
  • NingPo MahJong (PC)
  • Noah's Ark (PC)
  • Seven Seas (PC/Mac) 
  • TipTop (PC)
  • Word Harmony (PC)

I played Baking Life on Facebook.  Where did it go?

As of January 31, 2012, Baking Life has been discontinued.  We're sorry to disappoint the fans of this game, but we have a lot of new and very exciting projects on the way!  In the meantime, why not head over to the Sims Social?  Or try Bejeweled Blitz and Zuma Blitz!  

I have further questions about a game you haven't listed.
