For System 7.0 - 7.6 - Mac OS 9

Emulation
This game works with: SheepShaver, Basilisk II, Mini vMac II

A very similar concept to Ambrosia's Bubble Trouble altho more complex and chaotic.

Use your tank to push blocks into the hostile critters (the Greebles) ranging from flys to Dumper Trucks. There are a variety of different block types to keep each one of the 100 total levels interesting, from power-ups to blocks that explode on contact with everything.

This is a fantastically put together little game with charismatic music, hilarious gameplay and fantastic challenges for between one and four players. Most definitely a classic.

Compatibility
Architecture: 68k PPC

Works in classic

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!

Works in classic

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.

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
