scroathe Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 i originally posted this in the 8-bit forum, but then realized that i was asking about ST games rather than atari 130xe games. hopefully some of you can figure out what games these are. #1: it was sorta like those point-and-click king's quest games. it seemed to take place in a chinese-like setting. you played a old man who had to go about the country-side picking up items and solving puzzles. one puzzle involved having to find a pair of tweezers to remove a thorn from a lion's paw (i think it was a lion). #2: you scaled a building via stairs or elevator. there were doors on all the floors. you'd open them and something would happen... like there would be a man holding a boom box and he would say "yo!" or a little kid-like character would seem to be saying something like "hootnan! hootnan!" #3: this was a lode-runner-like game where you would climb ladders and whatnot. you could even build your own levels. the opening screen was some guy talking (never could make out what he was saying) and there was something like an organ playing in the background. i don't recall there being a lot of color to this game. the character was this tiny, hunchy-looking guy that reminded me of a caveman. anyone know these games?

That was called The Golden Path. Not sure about the other ones. Edited November 16, 2009 by Ed Salisbury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Mission Elevator" perhaps? Or "Mata Hari"? Edited November 16, 2009 by Klapauzius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scroathe Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 awesome.. those are indeed two of the games i was questioning. the golden path isn't as good as i remembered it, though. will be playing mission elevator today just to hear the sampled sounds when you open certain doors =D.

Klapauzius Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 #3: this was a lode-runner-like game where you would climb ladders and whatnot. you could even build your own levels. the opening screen was some guy talking (never could make out what he was saying) and there was something like an organ playing in the background. i don't recall there being a lot of color to this game. the character was this tiny, hunchy-looking guy that reminded me of a caveman. If I had read your post more carefully, I had known sooner: This should be Wizard Royal Yeah, quite fancy little game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet-X Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I am *dying* to find Mission Elevator, on ST or Amiga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
