Adventure Gamers - Forums

Hello everyone, I’m new to the forum and looking for some help finding the title of a game I played many year ago with my Dad. We played it on a Windows 95 computer in the mid to late 90’s. It was a fantasy point-and-click adventure game. The game was steeped in the comedy one would expect from a Zork game, but from the research I’ve already done, I know it isn’t a Zork game. I can’t exactly recall the graphic quality of the game, I believe it was 16-bit pixel art.

From what I remember about story, you start in a house with access only to the foyer, the kitchen, and the den. The true meat of the game begins when you get a package with a computer game in it, and when you boot it up you are transported to the fantasy world. You are given a choice of many different ‘partners’ to play through the game with, but many lead to quick game-overs, except for a Naga companion who you spend most of the game with.

Some memorable moments in the game:

* Being confronted by a Man and his dog made of lava called the “Fire man” and “Hot dog,” you have to use a bottle of mustard and bun to scare the hot-dog away.

* Exploring a decrepit building, you find a key outside on a window sill, but the window is stuck shut. You have to use a bottle of Aspirin one the window pane in order to get the window open.

* At one point you are forced to trade partners with another person playing the game, your naga for his harpie.

If anyone can help identify this game, I would be incredibly grateful. I’ve been looking for my copy of the game to no avail, I’ve been googling to the best of my abilites, I just can’t find anything about it anywhere.

It sounds like a really interesting premise.  I hope you find out!
