Yep it was just before the death of those types of games. They were turning into "roam the mouse until something is clickable and you win" games so I'm glad they died. This one was ok, I guess. Nice music if I remember correctly. But it was more like a refined version of a genre that thankfully died.

I should note that they appear to be considering rising from the grave and living off the flesh of MMORPGs.

These games were better than the king's quest games of the same time. The KQ games really were the roam mouse until you can click games at that time. I remember one game in particular, where you had to go into some evil mansion, and do something which did not work for me due to some bug in the game. I had to restart wayyy back and do some early portion again.

Still, the king's quest games were fun, no doubt.

Wasn't there some KQ game where you had to choose one of three character classes and you gained skill? Kind of a rudimentary rpg?
