One of my esteemed offspring wanted me to bring this to the hive mind, so here goes:
Okay, Mom, I finally remembered to write this note. This is what I'd like you to ask the Metafilter crew.
So there's this really old game, and it's either Atari or just from that era.
It's a little game with nine levels where you play as an eight ball that has to bounce around and find the goal. One of the levels is nothing but goal areas, and you have to keep away from the goal long enough to gather point-items. In another level, you have to go through a series of pipes to find the goal, and in a third there is a conveyor belt that you start out on, and you have to bounce forward to get to the next part of the level. There is a time limit, and if you take too long you get sent back to the main menu.
My question is, does anyone remember the name of this game? I haven't played it in years, and I'd really like to see it again.

Response by poster: Nope to either of those, according to her.

Does she remember whether it was an arcade game, a home console game, a computer game, etc.?

Best answer: Here's a list of "rolling ball" games, maybe she can spot the title?
