Were there ever any 'full screen' games?

Has anybody ever seen a C64 game which used the top, bottom AND the sideborders for actual gameplay? (and not just displaying score, level, lives left or whatever in those screen areas)

I seem to remember a puzzle game, where you have to switch the tiles to get the correct picture ..

And if there wasn't, why not? It's such a simple idea .. :)

If it hasn't been done it would be a quite easy "world 1st" thing to do. You could just make a game that consisted of 8 sprites, that were max 19 pixels high, so the top/bottom ones could be used to d017-flex them into y-position, w/o requiring any timing.

rambones: HCL and Dane actully did do sideborder music in their Cycle demo :-)

hollowman: hellfork probably doesn't count as a game, not until the networked multiplayer mode is implemented anyway :-) (There is actually enough cycles left for drawing a simple "enemy" over the blocky walls, and by removing the music there should be enough rastertime to add simple IP networking with the TFE or the RR-NET).

Trident:Yes and I'm still waiting for the RR-Net support in that game... :)
