"Jewels of the Oracle is a lovingly crafted collection of two dozen mechanical, mathematical and logical puzzles.
Originally published in 1995, Jewels remains a beautiful and engaging diversion. Courtland Shakespeare, the
primary creative force behind the title, went on to create Gems of Darkness, now offered as Jewels II: The
Ultimate Challenge. Sadly for puzzlers, the business side of the process of creating Jewels and Gems went so
badly that Shakespeare has been quoted as permanently swearing off the development of any additional titles.
This leaves gamers who appreciate Shakespeare's style with just two examples thereof. That the style is
timeless is demonstrated by the place Jewels and Jewels II have earned in DreamCatcher's product lineup." - by Bradford Roberts
