Does anyone know of a name for this "game"?

Recommended Posts

This is something we used to do in school during boring lectures. You need a piece of grid paper and pencil or a pen. You start by drawing a series of dots in a cross shape(see attachment). Then you start the (one-player) game. Every turn, you first add a dot to an intersection of the grid lines. Then, you draw a vertical, horizontal or a diagonal line that passes through 5 dots. Repear as many times as possible. The lines may not overlap, but they may cross each other.

So, does this game have a name? Or does anyone know anything else about it, like the maximum score you can get? For me it tends to jam around 60-70 lines.
