And once again while we're waiting for an official image, I'm reposting this "bonus" pic. And sweetening the deal - anyone who guesses is correctly gets a GOG game of their choice :)

Well, the obvious answer is Jezzball...

Probably not it, but Xonix?

I'll take 'Qix clone #87' for $100!

Um, some sort of Linux Qix clone? Reminds me of old QBasic games...

Nope. Similar divide and conquer gameplay, but the ball leaves a line (snake style) behind it whenever it moves in the un-filled areas, instead of generating the lines to either side when you activate it.

Sorry, gotta be more specific :)

Nope, played it on DOS. No Basic required (though it may have been written in it, I doubt it).

And people, remember, this is a BONUS question for a free GOG.

Someone still needs to post a new one since Arteveld is giving up his turn!

OK, to fill in the time for 10 minutes (judging by previous experience), let's see who else has seen this one:

And it's not Xonix (guess by Smannesman)?

Nope, but definitely looks like a close clone of it now that I look at the screenshots!

A hint - if you search for the game on Mobygames by its exact name AND narrow the Platform down to DOS, this game is currently the 10th result!

Smannesman answer is correct, only karlirion needs to confirm it.
Anyway, that was a bonus riddle. You answered the last 'proper' one, so you are supposed to post another ;)

Correct! Out of curiosity how did you find it? Props if you thought of searching for mobygames submitted by "kalirion" :)

But more importantly, I owe you a free GOG. Post your GOG of choice and email (captchaed if you're worried of spam) and I'll get it to you :)

By narrowing down the type of game, the operating system and the year basically.
I know pretty much 80-90% of the games in the DB so I looked for games I didn't know with a simple name (like Qix, Kix, Styx, Xonix). I still had to go through 30 games or so :P
But whenever someone posts a game I don't know, I just really have to know what it is.
Hmm you never specified if it was a $5,99 or $9,99 game so:

$9,99
--------
Neverwinter Nights
Baldur's Gate 1

$5,99
-------
Tex Murphy 1+2
Fallout 2
Freespace 2

A little bit of choice so I can still be surprised :P
