While watching the historical video Ben posted, this game was included.  It most certainly qualifies as an abstract game.  Have a look at Alpha Waves...

Greyfox

That came out the Atari ST and Amiga machines in 1990, but the Atari 8-bit done something very similar but for the life of me I can't remember what the game was called :(

No clue of how to even look for it.

Lol, I found it, I knew I wasn't imagining things, the game was called "Relax" and was created by Synapse Software in 1984 and was co-written by Bill Williams famous for his wonderful "Alley Cat" game and who sadly passed away in 1998 from cystic fibrosis at the age of 38 :)


That Sun is making me feel happy already :)

Relaxation software, eh?  It must have had some soothing music...

Restarting this thread.  Here is another abstract game that is also a bit strange.  This is Seventh Cross Evolution on the Sega Dreamcast...
