> - kicks.exe -- I still can't find what the actual title was. It was a game where balls bounce around an area and your job is to slice sections of the area closing off the balls, once you capture the balls in a small enough area, you move to the next level.

- lxe 3y agoThanks! Yeah it was something similar to it, except probably from the 80s and for IBM DOS.

- lxe 3y agoBingo. This is it. One of the variants for sure! Thank you so much!
- SupremumLimit 3y agoThanks! I used to play it as a kid and have been trying to remember the name of the game for years.
- mbreese 3y agoAs soon as I read the description, that was my guess too. It was such a simple game and I spent a lot of time playing it. If you wanted to be patient, it was almost impossible to lose. But if you hurried, it was anlmost impossible to win.
- lloeki 3y agoCompletely forgot about this one, yet I spent so much time playing it! Absolutely true that pacing is key. The version I had had cycle-based speed so it became unplayable when I changed computers for a faster clocked one, which prompted me to attempt coding a clone.
