    I have spent nearly my entire life remembering "that one game with the spheres that move around while jungle music plays" as one of my very first computer game memories, and I finally found it by looking through myabandonware's windows 3.X games. My dad figured out how to burn CDs so he would just get a ton of random games and put them on discs for me and this was one of them

In kindergarten we had this game on the computers to play during centers time and we all just called it "The Nickel" game because the icon you had to click on to play it was just a white circle.
