The following requires that the gravity is the same, and the game must be smart enough to handle it. In the following puzzle boards, the red is what is being counted. The board should clear once everything falls into place.

More challenging is the ability to match the most gems of the same color at one instant. In this case the max I came up with is 24. I think it is possible to do more, but here they are (the red color):

In the above 24 matches for Puzzle Quest and BeJeweled, it is actually 2 "Eight in a Row" and 4 "Four in a Row" at the same time. 16+16=32 with 8 removed in the count because of being used twice in the intersection. 32-8=24 total.
