Did you purposefully choose the image from the PC game meant to give me nightmares, or is that just happenstance?

<p>I found this game at my friend's parents. They said they custom made this from an old PC game (90's). But they forgot the name.

<p>Its name has been lost for more than 2 decades. Thank you.</p>

Now you have the name, I suggest neatly engraving or wood-pokering (?) that name onto the side or endpieces.  So in another 20 years the next generation can find it.  And the name/date of the maker too,

It reminds me of Quoridor, from 1997, but as already stated by others, Shuttles includes sliding rows, while the Quoridor board is static.

@DavidS. Quoridor substituted movable walls for the shuttles, so I wouldn't say it's static.

@Scott: Right. It's not true that the entire game is static, just the board. The game as a whole is still modular thanks to the aforementioned placeable walls.
