I think it was an add-on cd that came for Windows 95 or 98. Well it would have this grid, and then balls would bounce around that you would have to divide and cut into their own little sections. Once you got them all separated, you would go to the next level which was just one more added ball. If the ball hit your little divider thing while it was being made, you lost a life. Can anyone remember what that game was??

Man that game was addicting. I havent thought about it in a while.

I use to love Jezzball, PipeDream, and Rodent's Revenge.

Heh, this reminded me of Hover! That pussified maze game that came with it. I still used to play it though.

Here's an open-source, totally free and legal ligasp!li semi-clone of JeezBall called IceBreaker.

It's close enough. No, wait... it has penguins. So it's way better. P

I cant explain why, but hover reminded me of a child's version of Doom.

I never figured out how to play that game and was too lazy to read the help section. Most games you can just start and figure it out. But that one was weird.

Ah sweet nostalgia

Wow I'm getting good at Jezzball. I always split the area in half and then I keep dividing them.

Has anyone found a simple java based Tron game?

I use to do that, until i accidently figured out a better way

go to the end and align your verticle divider closer to the bottom and divide when the jezzballs are on the other side; then quickly start the blue over a couple blocks to make a skinny column to trap it into. This bypasses the 75% problem. Get it?
..... ah ef it. I have to post pics.

[quote770600f945="zdub08"]how do you just make one side come out?
[/quote770600f945]

I'm not good at explaining, but.....

Went you divide, if one side reaches the end first (blue for example), you can click again and just the side (blue in this case) will start. So if you start the division lower, obviously one side will get there faster.

i would post a pic of it, but it is hard to print screen at that 2 sec moment. Try out what i'm talking about. If it doesnt make sense, i'll try and post.



Edit if it helps, take the "-1" off from my images for a larger image to see.


Edit I could not print screen quick enough, so this isnt the same game, but pretend it is

Wow do I hate that game. I played like 10 levels in and it just got impossible.

I still play Jezzball every once in a while.
