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). |

Hey, I know that game info in the border does not count, but usually game info is a digital number displayed. In Turbo Out Run during the game there are ANALOG instruments displayed in the lower border, with a rotating indicator. |

I think More than NOPs by Taboo had a sideborder pong. But i agree with Oswald, sideborder just for the sake of it is boring. |

Thought about it a few times but couldn't see the point of "breaking" the game to get it in the borders... but lets face it, something like a sideborder game'll at least give the NTSC fixers something to do! =-) |

It extends out of the monitor and hovers about a foot to either side. Talk about cool! =-) |

That alone is way too unbalanced, so you need to put several leftie fairies in the game to compensate. |

This game, even if a preview, is a tetris game. Blocks falling down appear even in the upper border and I guess the player can cancel a line even if it gets complete in the upper border. |
