Help! Old PC game - uncover a picture??

[april89]

Hi! Can't remember the name of the old PC game (I think from the 90s) where you had to clear out the areas of the screen while avoiding bouncing balls. If the ball touched your line, you had to start over. Some versions of the game had pictures that you had to uncover, while others had a plain background. Very simple graphics. The game I'm talking about is similar to LadyLove, but without the racy pictures. Does anyone know the name of that game?? Thank you!!!

Thank you, but that's not it.. There was no breaking bricks, just a completely covered picture which you had to uncover by using the arrow keys.. You were drawing lines and once you made a complete square or a rectangle, that area of the hidden picture would become visible.

Sounds like a Qix clone. There have probably been hundreds since the 90's. There was a game like what you describe on the MegaTouch bartop machines. You may have got this from one of those PC 3000+ Games! CD's. Now they are making similar games again for Tablets and phones called Xonix.

Yes, thank you! I looked up Qix, and it looks very similar. The same idea, anyways. Thank you again!
