There was this late 90's game that I used to enjoy and who's title, among other things, I completely forgot. I looked through all the games here and none of them looked or sounded like it at all. It's basically a futuristic puzzle game which had something to do with magnets and/or electricity. You moved your "robot" (or whatever) on some kind of grid and, like many puzzle games, you could push stuff around that I kind of remember looking like barrels or round balls. Then there were these spots or tiles that were electrically charged that you had to push objects on or use to repel objects, I forget. The graphics were really colorful (at least 256 colors) and there were many animations and maybe even some explosions. The thing I remember liking about it was that despite being hard, and puzzling, there were many different types of things to push around or interact with, and the screen tended to get junked up with all these objects, and if you forgot the behavior of an object, you could get stuck with no where to move or maybe even die, again I'm not sure.

Is there any chance someone remembers the name of this game?

I can't say you how exactly the game you search was called, but it sounds pretty much like another Sokoban-clone.

Search around a bit for Sokoban-clones and you'll find alot games, that are exactly like the game you described

That might only be 16 colours but is that it? Was it a real basic DOS game like that? Was it a fancier game with 3d effects? Would you say it needed at least a 486 to play or would any thing do?

Was it shareware? If so Electroman? It sounds like.
