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)

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. |
