Default [AlienKetchup] Arctic Adventures

Hello

I'm desperately searching for this game i remember playing about 10-12 years ago. I don't really have any experience with Win 3.1, so I don't know if it's normal, but I remember you had to write some code or something to get in the game before windows loaded properly.

Anyways, the game was a sidescroller/platform game where you controlled a cowboy, running around looking for keys to get to the next level. On some levels, you could get a piece of a map, and when you collected all four pieces you either won the game or traveled to a new world. I think you also had a gun, but somehow I don't remember any enemies to shoot at...
In a lot of ways the game is very similar to the game "I wanna be the guy", but obviously not that difficult

No, it's not Toy Story. Thanks for trying though
As far as the graphics goes, it was very basic, with little color and details. (Or maybe i just don't remember any...) Also, I'm calling him a cowboy because I remember him having a hat that looked like a cowboy hat, not sure if he really was a cowboy or not.

Maybe it has something to do with Beebop? You know, that strange green cactus (I think?) cowbow that I've seen a few times and who belong to a very old TV show...

A shareware port of Solomon's Key, maybe?

Wow I thought I finally found it when I first saw the PC-booter screens of Solomon's Key, but it wasn't the right one after all It's incredibly similar though, at least graphics-wise, except for the annoying background. I think the game I'm looking for had a black/dark calm background, surely not that confusing.
I couldn't find any games based on Beebop, I can't really say I've heard of him at all actually
