Help finding a game i remember playing as a child
 

I was hoping someone could help me to find a game i remember playing as a child.

I believe the game starts with two women at a river where one of them is looking down in the water. She falls in (or gets pulled in: I can't remember) and the other one jumps in after her. They are then in some kind of vortex or tornado trying to get a hold of each other. The first girl gets pulled out of the vortex and transformed into an troll or something. Can't remember what happens to the other one. And the rest of the game you switch between these two characters.
I don't think it was a horror point and click. (However it did frighten me back then:P) I also remember that you can die in the game.

The only other think i remember is there is a time where you are hanging from a ledge and a man with a shovel points it at you and if you don't click it you fall and die...

Hope someone can find this game i would really appreciate it:D

That sounds like the introduction of King's Quest VII.
Haven't played it very far yet, so I don't know whether the rest of the description fits though.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
 

I thought i had checked every Kings Quest but there it is!! i even remember the cover work:D Thank you sooooo much!

Play it if you have the chance. Not the best way to start your journey through the wondrous land of Daventry, but a very good game nonetheless!

;)

Im also looking for a game i played when i was a kid, i thought id put this thread to good use!

All i remeber from the game is going to easter island and finding some sort of red gemstone near an archaeological dig and maybe at one point going to china. The graphical style was similar to broken sword, the main protagonist was male.

Not much to go on, hope someone can help!

Sounds like Ripley's Believe It or Not: The Riddle of Master Lu (1995).

Brilliant! thank you both.

I always wondered why it's not as popular as Broken Sword.. it's a really good game. It's a pity DosBox and I don't get along very well, because just remembering Mr. Ripley makes me want to replay it. ;)

As a fan of Broken Sword I'll have to check it out. That said, Broken Sword is more than just a game, it was an almost perfect combination of thriller and comedy, and it had a real sense of time in the end of the millennium. In fact I love the game so much, that I have intentionally never finished it, almost like a book I never want to end, lol.

I have restarted Broken Sword almost 50 times, haha. I know, that's nuts but maybe I'll actually finish it now, almost 10 years after I first bought it!

Excellent game. If you're lucky enough to find a copy be sure to get the patch that prevents an 'out of memory' bug that occurs at a particularly unfortunate place near the end. Apply it immediately as I seem to remember that it makes your saved games unusable. I had no problem running it in the most current version of DosBox in XPsp3.
