Talk:Zuma (video game)

message: Many niche gamers who have exposure to Mitchell Corporation may be suprised that this game is similar to the 1988 Arcade game called Puzz Loop.  In a interview , it was suggested that Mitchell has contacted PopCap to give credit for core mechanics that were lifted from Puzz Loop.
* My lawyers in Japan are supposed to be on this. Progress is slow because if we do court battle in US, we would be at a disadvantage. You know the Americans and their mentality. We will be up against American jurors. You know how biased they are towards Oriental companies. Popcap games' lawyer replied my mail and the one from my lawywers' office. In essence, they don't give a shit. I think they knew what they were doing from the start and they are bad businessmen. You know that to think of a game and to actually make it takes a lot of energy and money. Ripping off someonelse's idea is bad; they don't belong in the game business. In a few months, you will see what I am doing. I am not a lawyer so we will do battle in a different court. Did you know that Popcap also has a ripoff of Puzzle Bubble?
While searching for visual and game comparisons yield similarities between the two, not a whole lot has been written as a reference, and most degrade to rather "copying game mechanics are the foundation of games" vs "they are entitled to payment".--AlphaTwo 01:37, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Just now I was bored and playing the game Zuma. I was just about to quit when I stumbled upon something: if you hover the mouse over each of the buttons on the main menu in descending order, it will play the 5-note motif from Close Encounters. Would anyone know if this is just coincidental or a homage to the movie? --Self-Cannibal
UPDATE: Apparently it's no coincidence. If you do it 3 times a UFO will pop up. Click on the UFO to see the game credits. --Self-Cannibal  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.166.160.197 (talk) 21:22, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I've been playing the game for a long time but still I can't understand the word that the frog says - 'Ribbit'. Does anyone knows its meaning? --Xq 010 (talk) 07:35, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

message: I curate the Italian section of the video game, and some crazy person had added in the adventure mode section a wording that said that if you finished the game with the highest score, "Mickey Mouse pops up to make a deal with the Mayans to save them from the end of the world he conquered."
Crazy stuff, who knows how many years this bale had been there. MakerManu (talk) 00:52, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
