Our classic Mac had a game where you dropped a guy into a moving hay cart. As evidence that GTA's subversive spirit was never anything new, you could land on the horse and kill it.
Hue's Hat was a late-90s freeware game for Windows 9x, or possibly VGA-era DOS. Windows 9x would drop straight back to DOS and (usually) return unscathed. A lot of games targeted DOS for simplicity. It was an action puzzle game where your dude could move left and right below the playfield, which was full of balls slowly bouncing around at 45-degree angles. You could shoot straight up, and hitting a ball made it burst into four shots on diagonals, which could in turn hit more balls. And you. So the goal was to clear the field in the fewest shots, using chain reactions, without getting caught by your own crossfire.
Someone else here has probably seen Balance, a stop-motion short about a bunch of guys on a square floating in a white void, but it's not gonna be dozens of us.
