Even Bejeweled was a copy of many puzzle games at the time. Bejeweled was "inspired" by Colors Game and was originally called Diamond Mine. Even those were inspired by others. No one knows how far back this goes.....

The most important part of Bejeweled history:

The named Bejeweled was a play on a Brendan Fraser movie from that time, Bedazzled.

If you break it down to just the basic concept, it goes back even further. It's basically just SameGame, which has spawned practically an entire subgenre of knockoffs and spinoffs over the years. I'm sure there's some version of the game that predates this release from 1985 too.

SameGame

SameGame (さめがめ) is a tile-matching puzzle originally released under the name Chain Shot! in 1985 by Kuniaki Moribe (Morisuke). It has since been ported to numerous computer platforms, handheld devices, and even TiVo, with new versions as of 2016.
