Monfriez Posted April 11, 2007 I'm trying to find the name of three DOS games I once played. I was hopping someone could help me or recommended a forum where I could ask for help identifying these game. 1) The first game was a SPF set in a fantasy world where you could transform in to various monsters. The game engine was similar to Rise of the Triad or Wolfenstein; the floors were flat and the walls were at 90 degree angles. 2) The second game was an educational title; a 3D underwater museum with sprites of photo-realistic sea creatures that talked to you. (this one may of ran in windows 3.1) 3) The third was a word puzzle game with a sci-fi twist. You would create an alien as your avatar and compete in an interglacial game show. All three were VGA. Do any of these sound familiar? Thanks. 0 Share this post Link to post
alexz721 Posted April 11, 2007 I think #2 was called Undersea Aquarium or something like that. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted April 11, 2007 First one sounds a little like Lands of Lore: Guardians of Destiny. I hated that game. Huge waste of four discs in a time when games that took up 2 CDs were massive. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted April 11, 2007 #1 does sound like ShadowCaster. http://www.ravensoft.com/GamesDetail/tabid/76/XMID/4/Default.aspx 0 Share this post Link to post
alexz721 Posted April 11, 2007 Yeah, it's the only one that fits. Only other fantasy themed games I can think of that old are Bram Stoker's Dracula and Nitemare 3-D, and the description doesn't match them at all. 0 Share this post Link to post
Monfriez Posted April 11, 2007 #1 is ShadowCaster. Thanks. I can't find any information on Undersea Aquarium; the name is too generic. Thanks anyway. I would love to find out what #3 was; it had some cool artwork. 0 Share this post Link to post
Hekksy Posted April 11, 2007 #2 was Undersea Adventure. I still have it, but never play it. And yes it was made for Windows 3.1 and I believe it was VGA. 0 Share this post Link to post
wildweasel Posted April 20, 2007 #2: This one might also be Odell Down Under by Mecc Software. #3: I remember this one quite clearly - Lexi-Cross by Interplay. The only computer game to feature a cyborg Pat Sajak, and a flying robot Vanna White turning the tiles. 0 Share this post Link to post

Kirby Posted April 20, 2007 3 sounds like a game I used to play a long time ago. You'd compete like you said and try to earn as many "starbucks" as you could. 0 Share this post Link to post
