SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE!!!

Post by Blades »

Some one has to help me. :cry:
I used to play an old game on dos and I can't remember the name.
The Game had a grid of lines and you were a dot. you had to travel on the lines and when you boxed off a sqaure, it would disappear. While you where doing this a computer , who was also a dot would try to hit you and if he hit you, you would lose. The more levels you got to the faster it would go. Somebody please help me. Please I need to know the name.

Is it Kix, Qix, or Xonix?

It is not any of those games. Here is a badly made picture of what it basicly is. I remember how it looks but not what it is called. This picture is very close to looking like it but all the boxes should be perfect squares and all the lines are connected and not dotted. The object is to go over the lines and after you go over them, the lines turn puple and after you go over all the lines around a box, it disappears. while avoiding the computer who is trying to hit you. Have you guys ever played this game? IF not you should it is great. very basic but addictive. Please you must help me.

Code: Select all

Not it

No thats not it either. This game is old and I mean old. I guess nobody has played it. It has no color except for purple. It was on a 286 machine which only had dos on it. My brother thought it was called zoom but I can't find any game called that. I guess nobody has heard of this game or played it ever. :cry:
