Post subject: Name that game! |
|
|
Ok, so I am looking for a game that I had a long time ago as a kid.
Here is what I remember...
Install:
I had a 486dx 33MHz at the time (Pentiums had just came out).
The game was huge! It came on like 7 or 14 (can’t remember witch) 1.44MB floppies.
The first disk was white and all of the others where normal black.
It required the manual at startup for the classic “word find” game.
I don’t remember if the game was DOS or Windows 3.1
The Game:
At the time the graphics where just EXTREAM, it was just beautiful.
It was kinda like Myst in you clicked between locations. No direct motion. But everything was animated, lots of sounds going on, chatter and so forth.
It was set in the future. I remember being able to eat at a McDonalds, there being to go into like a stereo store, but almost no real point to the game (that I can remember).
You did need to eat. The game just kinda started, but there was a book that came with it. And of course, I didn’t read it. You where just kinda placed in this world. You survived at first by pick pocketing and stealing from shops if I remember.
I remember getting really mad (I was fairly young at the time), and finding some sort of cheat codes. I still wasn’t able to get anywhere except being able to purchase some ridiculously expensive ticket to a space ship. I could then take off from the planet (it went full 3D at this point) and I was able to land on some space station (going back to Myst Style). But couldn’t get in any of the doors (because I didn’t play though properly), and couldn’t go back to the planet.
I have looked and looked for this game, but can’t even find its name.
Ideas?  |

| Not sure, but it doesn't sound anything like any of the SpaceQuest games that I ever played... |
