If you're 30+ maybe you can name this PC game (1 Viewer)

[Soulfly3]

I've looked for AGES and I honestly cannot find the game, or the name of said game anywhere.

Im not a gamer at all, but as a kid I had a game (that loaded on like 10 floppy drives) where you had to type the directions and your "guy" would either do it or not. I think those are RPG or Role Play?

Whatever...

The girl is the game was named Penelope, which I only remember, because I used to pronounce it as "pen-a-lope" until I say penelope cruz's name like 10yrs later.

There were a few versions of the game but the one I remember had a halloween theme, and took place in a haunted castle.

All I got. HELP!!! (If I had to guess, the main guys name was Harry? But maybe not)

thanks

now here's challenge #2... have the game downloaded, but cant get it to run... it's a dos game, i know, but the zip has an exe in it... should run, no?

goldeneye was literally the last of my video games.... that and mariokart64... amazing.

after that, played fifa here and there. nothing more. just not a gamer

 

[Scoresman]

you probably need something like dosbox because those old games on their own wont run on a modern OS.

Maybe google for dosbox. Here's a hint for that: type "dosbox" into google.

 

[Scoresman]

You can also just play it here.

While we're at it I have another one this reminded me of:

I used to play a computer game that involved a guy walking around on a space ship from screen to screen. It was on floppies. For the life of me I have no idea what it was. I borrowed it from a friend and remember spending hours playing this game in or around the late 1980s. Whatcha got?

 

[fred_1_15301]

First thing I tried was "computer game Penelope " and it was the first result.

The just released a new King's Quest today. I doubt it's got the same charm as the originals, but I might pick it up anyway.

[technicaldifficulties]

Any ever play The Dark Crystal on an old Macintosh? I could never get anywhere in that game. Still had to swap out the floppies.
