Brainball is a fantastic puzzle game it came free with issue 1 of the Amiga Mania magazine. Has any one had the chance to play this little known gem? The Lemon Amiga web site claims that the game was released commercially but I had not heard of the game until I saw it on the front of the magazine, can anyone remember purchasing a commercial version of the game? |

Is this the game you're talking about?
its definately a lesser known Amiga game, i thought it was a public domain game, but i could be wrong? |

It was on magazines only, you should trust HOL more than LemonAmiga

I also assumed it was a public domain game until I recently looked into it. The link that Belgarath posted says it was also released with a German Magazine. Amiga Mania was launched near the end of the Amiga 500's life and there were only a few issues produced. The cover disks during the magazines run were mixed in quality, Brainball was easily the best one. I also enjoyed Movem. I dug up the first issue and took a photo.
