If I give you the clues, can you please ID this game? I'm pulling my hair out trying to remember what it was called.
- It's an arcade game ~1985
- On the BBC Micro, it was called "Frenzy"
- The game takes place on a canvas where you have to draw from one side to the other to box off part of the canvas. If successful, the computer fills the boxed-off part in a colour. Various 'baddies' fly in the canvas and along the canvas edges. If your drawing progression gets struck by any of these, then you're one life down. The objective for most levels was normally to colour in ~80% of the canvas.
- The people who made Warblade (a modern adaptation of Galaga) have also adapted my mystery game - called Pixie. You guide your painter with your mouse and most of the original rules apply. Lots of power-ups in this version too.
