"Paint the screen" games

[Keir]

A letter in the latest issue of Digital Press made me think of this topic. In what games is your objective to move your character/vehicle over terrain, "painting" it behind you?

I'll start the list:

Amidar
Bounty Bob Strikes Back
City Connection
Make Trax
Miner 2049er
Pepper II

(PS This is my first thread about video games in like a year!)

Your goal isn't really to paint the screen with your walls.. it's to blow up people with your walls.

[Cirrus]

City connection?

Then I guess Snafu: INTV wouldnt be included either. Yeah, if the objective was to see how much you could paint before you died then it would be what hes asking for. ic.

also crush roller is another one, but that's slightly better .

Crush Roller = Make Trax.

ZOOM on C-64 (excellent game)

The Mario Party games have some that usually involve the opposite of "painting." The only one that comes to mind right now is one where you attempt to mow away as much grass as possible.

Police Trainer 2 (arcade game) also has a minigame where you are supposed to remove graffiti.

[DeputyMoniker]

I remember an arcade they had at a place called the Kilpatrick Center in Oklahoma. (some kind of museum) I think it was called Lawnmower or something. I remember having to mow the lawn without running over passing balls & pets. Something like that.

[Keir]

I wouldn't couldn't count Tron type games for the reason mentioned. I originally wasn't going to count Qix type games either, but now I'm not sure. It's a pretty subtle difference.

ZOOM on C-64 (excellent game)

How did I forget that one! (also on Genesis)

[InsaneDavid]

TRAFFIC JAM on the Tomy Tutor! You objective is to cover all the streets in the city with the blue streak left behind your car while avoiding the three enemy cars. However the enemy cars can also turn into steamrollers that remove parts of the street you have already covered. Great game on a terribly underrated piece of vintage technology.

Every game for the Sega Pico inclues a paint game.

And Hammy forgot:
Qix Neo: PS1

[whoisKeel]

Mario Paint (c'mon somebody had to)

I wouldn't even know what you mean if you hadn't mentioned City Connection. But what about that game Worm? The one where you are a worm and can't run into yourself but you leave a trail behind you. It was on some old cellphone games and old PC games, and I'm sure it dates way back before that (under different names I'm sure). Does that count?

[Haoie]

If used in the strict sense of painting [and not the idea of leaving a trail behind], the DS has quite a few titles like that, such as Warioware: Touched, and Feel the Magic.
