Top-down RPG with built-in editor

[SorEddie]

It was a top-down RPG that I remember looking fairly similar to the art style and graphical level of Castle of the Winds - http://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/l/64487-castle-of-the-winds-windows-3-x-screenshot-about-to-leave-the.gif

I played it in the 90s, early 90s I'm fairly sure. It was probably a 3.1 game, but I can't be certain. It definitely wasn't DOS or 98.

I don't remember there being any music, and there was definitely no speech. It was top down , but action based - I think you just walked into people to attack them.

It mostly seemed to be set in modern day, and there was a big focus on the fact that it had a built-in editor that let you make your own levels. The included sample story said that you had been whisked away from your home in a tornado, and when you landed, your clothes had scattered, so your first goal was to get your "Grubby Pants And Shirt" put on. There was also a copyright-infringing element where Gumby from the Claymation shorts was a character, both in the canon story and who could be placed in created levels.

If anyone can help me out with this game, it'd be amazing - I've been trying to remember this game for years now!

This sounds a lot like the adventure construction set

No, that definitely wasn't it, it was certainly at least a 3.1 game or a 95 game, not a DOS game. Thanks anyway though!

Also, sorry for the long response time on my end :blush:

Aha! Finally found this relic by looking up Lord Soth's site on archive.org...should've thought of that earlier, it's the only place I can think of that I would have downloaded a Win 3.1 game.

It's called "Adventure Gamer", and was distributed as "advntr10.zip", which you can find several places around the internet, like here (http://cd.textfiles.com/cica/cica9603/disk1/disc1/games/).

I gotta say thanks - for the longest time I couldn't remember what this was, but this topic got me to finally go out and find it.

I'm not sure how you might go about locating a registered version....I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a copy anywhere on the internet. But I'll keep an eye out.
