How can I make good lighting effects with motional shadow .......as if it were 3d. I found this great platform game made from TGB and it included motional lighting and shadow effects which would of made a great example for my question. Problem is I can't remember the name of it niether can I find it.

So, does anyone know how to make cool lighting and shadow effects.

Sure it was TGB and not Gish? (which is not torque but sold by GG)

For 2D realtime shadow, there is a great article on gamedev, if you own pro or are able to do something similar with scripting:

Rack em Up road trip has shadows (and it looks like the balls have reflextion too). I'm sure its all illusion, and done with tricks and workarounds.
