Looking for a MAC game in which you have to guide a paper plane through many screens. I cannot remember the title, so please someone out there tell me.

I think I know your game...they had it at a lot of schools. You could choose the type of plane, how fast it would go, the force of the throw and so forth, right? Unfortunatly, I haven't been in elementary school for years, which is where I played it, so I cannot remember the title :(

Y'know, when I read this thread, that was the exact game that came to my mind!!! I've been wondering if there was a PC version of it though...

I believe that game was called Glider, here is a link to Glider Pro for OS X...

Would that be Glider? I do know it was popular at my school's Macs and it's basically a simple game of trying to fly through rooms after rooms. Lifts can be obtained by going over active vents. Hit the floor, ceiling, or any furniture and your plane goes down. Hit a lit candle and your plane goes up in smoke (literally).

I think I have 2 different versions: the old B&W version when I was still in high school, and the full color version (GliderPRO IIRC) that I've had a few years ago.

If this is the right one, you should be able to get it at: http://www.casadyg.com/

Yes, it does sound like Glider. I used to have the old B&W shareware version. And it does still exist, although the current version must be purchased (there is a demo available, but it's pretty limited). Unfortunately, Glider is now available only for OS X.

@Scooter: Yes, there is a Windows version of Glider available.

The game costs $20, whether you choose Mac OS X or Windows.
