Sidebars might be a semi regular thing on this here blog especially when I'm working all week and don't have time to play much of anything. And this sidebar is on games from our childhoods that are lost to our fleeting memories.
I have a holy grail game that I've tried to find for years. I can't remember the name and I know it was most likely a DOS adventure game most likely from the late 80s early 90s. If I'm remembering this right you played as a cursor, like when you type something into a computer, and walked around a castle trying to find something to give to a knight who would not let you pass. The knight had a portrait when you talked to him. And that's all I can remember.
I still have hope for finding it even with the little I can remember about it because of the below story.
I had a Commodore 64 and a bunch of games on 5 1/4 floppy disks and one of those games was one no one that I shared the house with remembered. I would look for it constantly for years until I stumbled on a screenshot on Google while looking for something else, but once I saw I knew what I had stumbled upon. It was a 3D version of Pac-Man, unlicensed and called 3D Pac Man and it scared the crap out of me and probably led to me falling in love with survival horror
Which is why I always have hope because if I can find that game how does my holy grail game have any chance.
