Zuma and Luxor

PC (opens in a separate window) - Bif Fish Games
The genre of ‘Marble Popper’ games is vast. The aim of them is to fire a marble into a trail of multicoloured marbles to form groups of 3 of more, and thus reduce the trail in length and eventually altogether before it reaches the end of the trail. The main (some would say the only) difference between the different versions is the graphics and locations, which package the gameplay.
