Avenging Spirit vs Bejeweled 2

Avenging Spirit is a 1991 two‑player platform arcade game where you play as a wandering spirit with the power to possess almost any enemy. After a tragic ambush, you must infiltrate a crime syndicate’s lair, using possession and power‑ups to overcome increasingly tough foes and epic bosses. The game offers four distinct characters at the start, each with unique abilities, and an expanding roster of enemies that changes with each level. Its retro graphics and fast‑paced action have been brought to modern consoles, making it accessible on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

Bejeweled 2 builds on the addictive match‑3 formula, offering vibrant gems and increasingly challenging levels. Its simple yet deep gameplay makes it perfect for quick sessions or longer play periods.
