Yesterday I discovered this old video game called Qix (said like "kicks"). I don't really know how to describe it. It's a little like Pac Man, I guess. It looks like this:
So you see that line that comes out of the blue mass? With the red diamond on the leading end? That is you. You control your direction with a joystick and have to claim 60% of the board to win. On that version it's 75% (I want to try it...). Meanwhile, you're also avoiding the dots on the lines called Sparx, which travel along the borders (of the board and your claimed area) and will take away a life if they touch you. They can not travel along your open Stix, though. The Super Sparx are not as limited. Those are the firework-like things that spiral all over the place. If they touch your open line (Stix) before you close it off, you die.
Wonderful.
There are more specific things, too, like not being able to cross your own line and whatnot. Anyways, it's a lot of fun. And I'm getting good at it. Yay :)
