There's an old obscure game I'm trying to remember. It's not particularly important, it's just bugging me that I don't know how to look this game up on the Internet.
When I was a kid my Dad let me play this game on his MS-DOS computer. I guess fundamentally it was like bumper cars. You had to control a sphere in outer space. It had some dumb plot where earth was being invaded by aliens that were actually spheres and you had to save everyone by piloting this sphere to bump the aliens away. You would bump into other bad guy alien spheres to push them off the edge of the screen, which killed them. It had some semblance of a physics engine where the mass and momentum of your sphere were taken into account when you smashed into the bad guy spheres. So if you smashed a weakling they'd go flying away, but if they were big you'd just thud uselessly against them. As you progressed, the spheres got tougher and bigger and more aggressive. I seem to remember the spheres being rendered with 3-D looking shading. For some reason I remember the big, tough enemy spheres being green.
I'm guessing this game is really obscure, cause it had a low budget, almost indie feel to it. I mean I used to play other PC games in those days like Lemmings, Doom, and Commander Keen, but even if I forgot the titles of those I could probably describe them here and a dozen people could direct me to screenshots and youtube videos of those. I can't even remember what this silly old game was called. Does anyone here know?
