Hey all, Does anyone remember the name of the game where there was a single screen but up to 4 players with color octagons of various size, and you use to "influence" one of them and that it turn turned the color of surrounding ones to your color? Been looking everywhere, cannot find or remember the name or the actual concept behind the game. Thanks! :)

It is sort of similar, I said hexagons, but in practice it were rhombs of different size. You click anywhere on screen and it takes over adjacent rhombs with your color like in xBattle. It is an old game, probably 15+ years for DOS.
Sort of like


Ah, found - 7 Colors

I have one too, if you don't mind me adding to this thread.

It was a 3D game in the infancy of 3D games. It must have been released in the early 90s or late 80s. I think it was 1st person view and the polygons were obvious. Not even sure if they were textured.

The gameplay involved going place to place and I think you got to go inside some structures, maybe castles. Outside there were definitely roads/paths you could follow, or not. It had green grass and blue skies. There were little flying monsters to shoot at (with some energy weapon, I think, but I don't think the game had guns - I believe it was a medieval environment). I think there were adventure elements and conversation, with NPCs requesting you to find things for them.

I believe there was water but I forget if you could cross it. There were no levels to go up. Meaning, it was either on the ground outside or on the ground inside. No stairs or anything.

The version I played was definitely shareware and likely came on 5 1/2" floppies (or maybe just one).

I know this is random and I'm sure the game was never popular but man, it would be wild if someone knew this. Would bring back some great memories...
