It's hard to believe just what an extraordinary hit factory PopCap was back in 2007. If I had to keep one, I'd have trodden on Peggle to save my Bookworm Adventures. But there was one of us that preferred another PopCap game at the time, and that handsome chap was me.
We all loved Peggle, because we weren't mad. A file size that became peculiarly important to the site for a number of years - for reasons implausible to explain it became the international unit for measuring demo sizes. Bookworm Adventures (and it's sequel), the adorable word-spelling combat game, has been Shazammed right out of existence.īack in the very early days of RPS, a little game called Peggle was released. Not just no longer on sale, but seemingly erased from history, from the current timeline. One of my favourite ever games, released during the peak of PopCap's glory days, is simply gone.
Past Perfect is a retrospective column in which we look back into gaming history to see whether old favourites are still worth playing today.
