Hi there

A LONG time ago I played an old Mac game and a couple years ago I found it again and downloaded it but Ive lost it again!

It was a 2D game - top down view - you played in an arena, kind of like an ice hockey rink I seem to remember - and the aim was to steer around picking up things and avoiding the nasties - you steered with the mouse

Anyone know the name of it please?

Thanks

Matt

That's not very specific, sounds like just about any eighties game. Any more details? Adventure/RPG or Arcade? Graphics any good? Color, B&W?

yeah good point.... ;-)

It was out around 1991 or 1992 (but may have been before) - it was black and white as I remember. You viewed top down and had to collect a number of diamonds or something like that. There were mines (I think! Sorry my memory is hazy on it) - once you got all the diamonds you moved onto the next level.
The thing you controlled had a certain amount of inertia to it - so moving the mouse more, moved it faster in that direction.....
Graphics werent up to much - it would probably class as an arcade game - does that help?

It sounds like you're talking about Crystal Quest. There were color and black and white versions:
