I'm trying to find evidence of an arcade game I played when on holiday in the early 80s. The game involved moving a paint roller round and trying to completely paint round the outside of sqaures or rectangles. When one was completed it was filled in.

Once the whole level was done, there was a bonus level where you'd drop a banana from the top, and it would work it's way down the lines of the squares/rectangles that you had just painted and you'd try to hit something at the bottom, though I can't remember what.

I though it was simply called "Painter", but I've googled and can't find anything. Does anyone else remember this game?

I'd go for Amidar too. First level you are a gorilla going over the dots, second level you have the paintbrush and colour the borders round the squares (if memory serves!)

There was one called Painter too, where you started with a blank screen and had to 'colour in' over a certain percentage of the screen, without the bouncing balls hitting your painted line before you'd completed each square/rectangle.
