All,

I was trying to tell a friend about a game I played around 1997 or
1998 that was a 2-D game similar to scorched earth. 3 to 5 planets or
so were drawn on the screen and players were placed randomly on the
surface and you could shoot a weapon or fly. Your shots were pulled by
the planets' gravity wells, and there were special smart bombs and
splitting bombs and the like.

I cannot for the life of me remember the name of this old game. Can
anyone remind me?

Thanks,

Lewis
