the puyo puyo thread got me thinking of this game that my
neighbor got me addicted to just before he moved away

where those red magnet looking things come in

Grid Wars (same basic thing)

Just downloaded this again today, and started playing it.
It's a little different than the version I had before where
firing direction was controled via the mouse and ship
direction was controled through the keyboard. Here, all
controls are done through the mouse, and I think it works
really well, though it is a still a good bit different than
two-thumbsticks.

grid wars is good enough
i guess
fun to drop it down to VGA mode but the icons aren't scaled
down..
;<

zone 66 is gonna require some DOS emulation
.. or a boot disk, looks like fun, though

wow, that's a great game! but how well are you supposed to
do in grid wars? I survived for 6 minutes on my third try.
This is great fun...

Almost all of the ABA games can be played on the keyboard.
In fact off hand the only two that I can think of that are
mouse only are the Masashikun Hi and Wok.

Has anyone played GridWars (the PC freeware version of
Geometry Wars), it really is close to the XBox version. It's
excellent playing with a Playstation control pad with the
analogue sticks.

Duo, then?

I don't really like Duo or mono, but I do quite like
Duotris.
