Since everyone has been searching for games they played a long time ago, I decided to look for the ones I couldn’t find as well.

When I was around 8 years old I got this old Amiga computer and some games with it from a family friend.
I found which most of them were, except for these 2:

First game:

is third person with a male character. You start in front of a strip club, but you can’t get in. You can also go to the back alley behind the club. Now, you can die in this game. Once you are dead you get this little cutscene where you go through some sort of a cloning device and you get a new (same) character at the start of the game again.

Edit: I just figured out the first game is in fact Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards. Who would have thought that

Second game:
You’re on some sort of holiday like island. I don’t think you could see your character, but I remember that you could go to hotel, reception, as well as go into the elevator, and go to various floors. You could also go to the beach and do some things there (like watch some sort of a fight).

Both games were made in the early 90s or late 80s.

Now have in mind that these might not be real adventure games, because one of the games I had was an action adventure game called Weird Dreams, along with Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, and King’s Quest.

Island + Vacation + Hotel + Beach
Maybe CodeName:ICEMAN

Operation Stealth was the one I thought of first but couldn’t remember the title. But she said you couldn’t see your character, so Codename: Iceman is out too.

But I think it’s simply got to be Emmanuelle. It’s got the island, beach, hotel and…

Quite strange, this game is first person, but looks like third person. Probably because it was made in 1989.
Yes, it’s Emmanuelle.

Thank you very much, Zifnab!    You have spared me of years of torture from trying to find this game.

So Leisure Suit Larry and Emmanuelle at age 8. Someone was precocious…

Yeah, well I had no idea what they were about when I got them.

I never managed to get anywhere in Larry (I kept dying ), but I soon figured out Emmanuelle had something to do with erotics That’s probably why I kept singing Sex Bomb at the time…
