'''''Push-Over''''' is a PuzzleGame developed by Red Rat Software and published by Ocean in 1992. Originally for the Platform/{{Amiga}}, it was also ported to [[Platform/IBMPersonalComputer MS-DOS]] and the Platform/{{SNES}}. The game is based on the beloved pastime of setting up dominoes in a row and knocking them over, except now, half the dominoes have magical effects added to them: dominoes may do strange things like vanishing, exploding, or [[SelectiveGravity falling upward]] when struck. The aim of the game is to set up the dominoes in the proper order so that they all fall over.

The [[ExcusePlot plot]] of the game features an old mascot of the [[ProductPlacement British potato-chip snack "Quavers"]], named Colin Curly. One day, he's dancing around and he trips in mid-air, dropping ten packets of quavers from his pocket and down an anthole. A friendly ant decides to help him, but quickly finds that not only is the anthole a portal through space and time, one hundred doors stand in his way which can only be opened by completing domino puzzles. (Yeah...)

Due to clever puzzles and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLEL2sntT6w surprisingly]] [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic memorable music]], it's a recommended playthrough for any puzzle enthusiasts. The [=DOS=] version works fine on UsefulNotes/DOSBox if you happen to find it anywhere, but the game has also seen several fan-remakes.

!!''Push-Over'' provides examples of the following tropes:
* IdleAnimation: G.I. Ant will stomp his foot impatiently and [[ContinueYourMissionDammit yell "Hey!"]] if you idle.
* LevelGoal: To beat a level, you have to go through the second door that only opens after knocking down all dominos and hitting the three-striped one (the trigger) last.
* NoFairCheating: If you use ''just one'' of the tokens you earn by beating levels, you will not get to see all of the levels, and will not get the best ending.
* PasswordSave: The SNES version saves progress on a five-digit passcode.
* ProductPlacement: The player's job is to return a bunch of potato chips back to their commercial mascot.
* PunnyName: The player's character is named "[[Franchise/GIJoe G.I. Ant]]".
