Asking help from classic game fans
Posted: Tue Aug 10, 2004 7:12 am
I'm sorry if this seems off topic, but i don't know where else to get this information.
I'm trying to find the name of an old game i used to play when I was very young. It was on a cousin's computer, and she and I would play it whenever we could (although we never beat it.. we where very young.). Anyway, I've lately had an urge to find that game and finally beat it but I couldn't remember what it was called, and my cousins have since gotten a new computer. None of my relatives remember what it could be and I'm at my wit's end.
All I remember about the game was this:
-You played as a girl in a long dress, your mission was to find a magic tree or fruit to help heal this woman who was in a tower you could visit.
-You typed in commands, like "clean" (which you could use in a house that looked like the seven dwarves' house, and theyu'd give you a bag of jewels.)
-One item you could find and pick up was a worm.
-There was a unicorn that would run when it saw you.
-There was a point-like system in the top right corner of the screen.
-There was a jewel mine where the dwarves worked.
-One way to die was to get eaten by a shark.
-There was a prision somewhere in the game, and someone wanted you to capture or kill the unicorn.
I figured that since the game I remember and both of the King's Quest games are SO very much alike, someone might recall the name of the one I'm talking about. I tried searching Sierra's website but I couldn't find anything and I'm not even sure that they made it.
Thank you so much, in advance!

. Designing the engine from scratch, creating the game, and doing the artwork is a little bit too much, and it would be nice to just concentrate on programming.
