Dear god...
I remember that floor.
I remember that girl.
I remember the fist fight with that asshole.
But I don't remember the game.

I recognise the characters too - and the painting oddly enough - but no idea of the game.  Can't even be completely sure if that's an 8-bit or 16-bit system. :-[

It's a DOS game.

Here's another screenshot:

Somehow makes me think of Back To The Future... Could that be doctor Emmet Brown on that screenshot?

OneDollar

Nope, sorry,you're on the wrong track there.

OneDollar

Alright, have another screenshot that actually shows the main character:

What about choosing some not so obscure games so I can have some fun too? :-D

You're few dozen thread pages too late, man :)

CaptainD

I just don't think anyone's going to get this one...

It has a strong QBasic vibe, but I have no clue what this might be.

Alright, apparently nobody played this but me. Here's some hints, first one to Google the answer can take the next turn:
Spoiler
It's a DOS game from 1992.
[close]
Spoiler
The goal of the game is shown in one of the screenshots I posted.
[close]
Spoiler
The game had a parser interface and no mouse support.
[close]
Spoiler
It was made in a 'game-making' program (way before AGS existed).
[close]
Spoiler
Although it was a complete game in itself, it was released as shareware as a kind of demo for a planned sequel.
[close]
Spoiler
I don't think the sequel was ever made.
[close]
Spoiler
I played it as a kid in the mid 90s, but it's probably pretty obscure. There's at least one Youtube longplay though.

Sorry for the tough one, I knew it was obscure but I was hoping someone would have come across it.

That will be so amazing when it comes up as a game to guess in this thread a decade or so from now!! :-D 8-)
 

Janos Biro

LOL. You guys are hilarious.

I REALLY hope this one is not obscure at all.
