Reminds me of the other bouncing ball on a vertical scrolling screen game theme; Bounder by Gremlin Graphics for the 8-bit home micro computers. It came out in 1986 and was a good fun game with nice graphics for the time. There are a few different videos on YT from the various computers running this game, but I chose to show the Sinclair Spectrum 48K version as it seems more playable and attractive. I had it for my Spectrum 48K and Amstrad CPC464

@EgoShredder Thanks! I never knew about that game, before some people pointed it out to me. Looks a lot like this for sure. It might have very well been the inspiration for this game, who knows? Thanks for the info :)

Pretty nice game. I wish I could find CD-i console...

[HalfBlindGamer]

@ZykovEddy Yeah, they can be pretty hard to find, depending on where you're from.

This is my favourite game for the so-wrong-it's-right console known as the CD-i.

[HalfBlindGamer]

@MattTheSaiyan Good pick for sure, not that there is an overly large selection of decent games ;)

This one actually looks pretty good for a CD-i game. Seems to be pretty uncommon though unfortunately. :(

@TittyTittyBangBangXX Wow, thanks for the offer! That'd be super awesome as this game has been requested quite a few times now! Send me a PM if you're serious so we can work things out, thanks!

@HalfBlindGamer I will send you my American version of Laserlords. I recently beat it and don't really have any use for it now.

@smartlamppost Well, I'm not getting an English version over here any time soon, that's for sure haha. But I'd only want it if you have it double or something. Besides, I still need to send you something too (which should be this week).
