A very similar concept to Ambrosia's Bubble Trouble although more complex and chaotic. Both of these are in part, based off of SEGA's 1982 arcade game Pengo.
Up to four players locally (or eight if playing on a network) drive tanks around the play area, pushing blocks into a variety of hostile critters, (the Greebles) ranging from flies to Dumper Trucks. An assortment of attributes power-ups contain within crushable blocks keep each one of the game's 100 levels interesting, from temporary invulnerability to blocks that explode on contact with everything when pushed.
This is a fantastically put together little game with charismatic music, hilarious gameplay and immense replayability. A standout title for Macintosh Shareware.

Spent hours on this with my cousin back in the day. The final levels are absolutely ridiculous. So fun though.
I can run this game on Sheepshaver off the shared folder, but if I copy it to the HD it wont boot and spits out a type 3 error. Any ideas why this is?
Edit - Never mind, a restart sorted it
Stairways Software wins again. Don't forget to try MindThump - the greatest game ever made!
Doesn't mean it works in Mac OS X (at least) at all.
Please do not mention Mac OS X compatibility if you detect the game works in Classic.
Intel Mac owners will be very confused at this place, as they will get a msg like
'Classic Environment not available on this Macintosh.'
- Thanks to the editor who removed Mac OS X compatibility.
Same for me i love it!!!
Epic game, i spent hours as a kid on one of the later levels, 'A Round Dozen', filling the screen with greeble generators and firing blocks into the resulting chaos
