Escape From Dinosaur Island
I remember having a demo \ shareware adventure games many years ago. I would love to play it again, but I can't remember what it was called.
Details are a bit sketchy, but does it ring any bells for anyone?

To be honest, I think I've played the game you're looking for, but I can't remember the name ..... *sigh*.
It's kinda bothering me since you posted your request. Ah well, as usual it will pop up in my mind sooner or later. ( read: most probably in a year or two .....) Must also say I have some doubts about that 'Windows95' , I think it was a Dos based game.

What style were the graphics? Digitized photos, cartoon/anime style drawings, non-cartoonish pixelled, pre-rendered 3D...?
Also, what year was that (even approximately)? |

Graphics were non-cartoonish pixelled. There was no photos or anime, and definately no 3D.
I played it on my first computer, so it must have been 1995. But the game might have been released before then, so I'll say early - mid 1990s. |

I would call it a Point & Click adventure, or a Graphic adventure.
When you clicked on something, description appeared at bottom of screen. |

The gameplay you described sounds like one of the games made by Legend. Check games on this list: http://www.mobygames.com/browse/game...nment-company/

No, it's not any of those games. But thanks for trying.
But the pictures are very similar in style to Time Quest. So it must have been made around 1991 (so I was a few years off, before, sorry). Here's a mock-up of how I remember it. Directions available to you were lit up, and you clicked on them to go in that direction. Last edited by Frodo; 17-01-2010 at 11:59 AM. |

I FOUND IT! :thumbs:
I got some shareware disks from eBay, and one of the disks had this game on it. It's called 'Escape From Dinosaur Island', by Sea Side Studios. Can't find anything about it online, though. |
