Barbie vs Bejeweled 2

Barbie is a 1991 Nintendo Entertainment System platformer developed by Imagineering Inc. and published by Hi Tech Expressions. Designed to attract girls to video games, it follows Barbie through three dream worlds as she gathers accessories and avoids obstacles to reach a ball with Ken. The game features simple puzzle elements, time‑management mechanics, and colorful retro graphics. Though not critically acclaimed at launch, it’s remembered for its unique girl‑oriented theme and quirky dream‑like level design.
