Wow, never heard of this game (unsurprising as it came out a decade before I was born). I was able to play it here [0]. Arrows to move, spacebar to be able to leave the edge. Very cool!

That link is to an emulation of an MS-DOS port of the original arcade. You can play the emulated original stand-up arcade game here:

Press F3 to choose language, then use 5 to insert coins, 1 to start 1 player game. Use cursor keys to move along existing lines, use Ctrl+cursor keys to draw fast, use Alt+cursor keys to draw slowly.

Good catch! Thank you for posting this. It's really crazy to be playing games I played when I was a kid (Not this game but other MS-DOS or Arcade games) in the freaking browser...
