"Spherules" is a word that means "small spheres." Incredibly,
"Spherules" also happens to be the name of a game made by PhloSoft that
deals with "small spheres." That's where the similarity between dictionary
spherules and PhloSoft's spherules ends though, as PhloSoft's spherules have much
more complexity and depth than your standard, run-of-the-mill spherules. For example,
PhloSoft's spherules have different colors, play different musical notes when you
click them, and have to be clicked in a certain order and within a certain time limit.
Much more than a simple geometric distraction, Spherules 2.1 is an experience that
you will carry with you for the rest of your life. The kids seem to like it too.

For those of you who enjoy playing games with extremely annoying, high-pitched
sounds that play over and over again, you might want to try out some old-school Spherules
-- that's right, version 1.0. The levels are exactly the same, only the graphics
and sound are horrid. It's only included here because it was PhloSoft's first game
ever (in fact PhloSoft was called GESoft back then, in 1996). Spherules 1.0 raked
in $1.25 in shareware fees (that's 5 registered users at a quarter apiece), money
that was quickly used to update the game.
