adventure game I can't remember the title of!
Hi! Im new Here, and was wondering if someone would be able to help me out! I just recently remembered this game from my past that's somewhat older, i played it when i was younger. Anyway, the game starts out at a carnival, where you have to shoot at these targets to win a prize. well somehow you get magically transformed into this doll thing and you get washed up on an island. I remember Island at least being in the title (maybe lol). But Any and all help would be fantastic!

Aww, I remember playing this in school, along with things like Oregon Trail, a fish game, and one about a museum.
I really liked this game.

OMG! That was exactly what it was! Thanks a lot! It brings back lots of memories. If only I could get that and an old Comodore 64 game, "Rags to Riches" to run on Dosbox...

Have you tried a C64 emulator? Thats the way I've done it...I put them on my DS too, except some won't run. One day I will finish Murder on the Missippi (sp). We still have the old C64 too...

Yes, I've tried, but I really hate having to type in commands, and the "Rags to Riches" one won't work correctly. I can't configure the controls to make him move, etc. I tried the settings, and I tried using my keyboard (which is how I want to control it), but it won't work, and I have no idea how to move him around.
