Hey guys.
A recent thread just reminded me of a game that I used to play and love.
I think the year was around 96/97?
The system also had DOOM installed if that gives you any idea of the time frame.
Was used on a system, where the desktop was in boxes, and you could drag icons (desktop icons) into each box to where you wanted them. Not like one big blaank screen of a desktop.
First Windows with a GUI was NT, but this desktop was nothing like it! Im not sure if there was even a start bar.
Anyway the game was you'd be in a spacecraft, having to travel down this line made up of loads of different coloured blocks, using the arrow keys to go up/down/left/right to be able to jump onto the next block/brick.
Anyone know what this game was called?
EDIT: BTW back in 96/97 this system that I had was already extremely old. Way before 95, probably from the 80s. Had one of the VGA cables that had to be plugged in the right way round to work.
The system may have been running Windows 3.1
