Purple Saturn Day (PC/DOS) 1989, Epyx, Exxos

Every four galactic-years, alien athletes from every inhabited planet in the galaxy gather to compete in the Purple Saturn Day games. Four interplanetary events await the player: pilot a ship through time and space, race around the rings of Saturn, solve a fast-moving electronic puzzle and navigate a futuristic obstacle course.Although not an official entry in the series, this game is in the same vein as Epyx's popular Games "series" titles.
The Ring Pursuit: race a frenzied flight around the splendid rings of Saturn, meteors threatening at every turn. Scoring is based not just on speed, but in navigating the course’s turns more accurately than your opponents.
The Tronic Slider: when the energy ball bursts, competitors pilot sliders speeding and rebounding off of obstacles and each other in a rush to capture the most energy fragments.
The Brain Bowler: solve a fast-moving electronic puzzle of resistors, gates, and electronic channels as you and your competitor seek to control each other’s minds.
The Time Jump: Pilot a ship into the future by capturing energy sparks to fuel your gravity-catapult and explode through time. The more sparks you captured, the further you plunge through mind-altering visions of space-time contraction.

Brings to remembrance Ballblazer.

They did a great job with CGA 😮

[@GYTCommnts]

Indeed! I think it even gives it a surreal feel for the better! Didn't know about this one! To my emulation backlog!

It is EGA in this video.

[@JimLeonard]

This gameplay shows off the EGA support, not CGA. But the CGA graphics are pretty good too, given that everything is purple.

Wow, this has a great look for such an old game with a limited color palette.
