My girlfriend wants to remember the name of this game she played in middle school on the computers they had there. She does not remember much about the game tho.. so I am having a hard time finding it for her.

She remembers that there was a mini game where you had to suck up viruses with an extendable vacuum hose from a fixed position in the middle. You were an alien... and if the virus got to you your ship would fall to the bottom.

She believes there was also another mini game included where one would build robots.

:?:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    This sounds so familiar. I just can't remember what it was called...

    I know that's no help, but I'll be thinking about this.

    According to her it was on the same computer as Oregon Trail Deluxe and Lemmings, if that helps place the era any. This would have occured in the late 90's.

    If it helps any, i have been further discussing this game with her, and she seems to recall the title of the game contained either the word "Arcade" or "Stadium". She thinks that the game consisted mostly of mini games.
