Hello 4chan nation

I come in a great time of need

Im looking for help finding a really obscure PC game I used to play back in school, around 2007

It was a point and click adventure, but it was also very bizarre

I remember there were numerous basic point and click puzzles, the most memorable of which being a sequence puzzle involving you click some "highly dangerous/venomous" """"spiders"""" (they werent real spiders. Some sort of creature that were pretty much spiders), in a shed, to get hold of a puzzlebox/map/important item (Unsure which, I do remember it was an early thing though)

Another puzzle involved distracting a bad guy to get a spanner/key/wheeljack, to disable something IIRC

The game itself used a mixture of early 2000s graphical art for the fictional entities, and stock real life nature imagery for the environment.

I believe the premise of the game was to stop an evil corporation from destroying the environment.

Im fairly certain it was based in Britain, as there was a particular scene I remember

Upon clicking a flower, you see a small creature (I THINK it was magenta, based on a mouse) that speaks to you in high pitched Welsh (Or at least thats what the other kids used to say it was), and youd get told in text that you simply didnt understand it

I believe you moved around by clicking directional buttons on the HUD (Up, Down, Left, Right), but I COULD be wrong

This game couldnt have been developed past 2007, cos Im certain I moved away from that school by then, but we'll say its nowhere past 2009, as I KNOW I never had sight of it beyond then.

Pic somewhat related, it was definitely a fever dream

Any additional notes I'll comment once I can think of anything more, but for now thats all I member.

Please god I need this nostalgia, I was never able to finish it, and I need to see the whole reason we even played it

>> No.7133818

OK, so as far as I can REMEMBER, I think a lot of the music was just ambience, at least when travelling around outside.

Im certain you start off in a house

Im certain the bad guy evil corp were always frowning, and spoke in a welsh accent

>> No.7133828

Just for clarification, we used to play it on a fat screen, on disc. Im fairly certain it had a case too, with a cover that possibly had woods and/or a field of grass. Could very likely be wrong about that though.

Thanks very much! Really appreciate it.

I think I remember playing this game in primary school, loads of weird visuals. It was similar to The Crystal Rainforest so it might have been made by sherston software.

I think we played it on one of those acorn computers if you remember those lol

By this I mean the later Microsoft Windows version of crystal rainforest as both games had pre rendered 3D graphics in my recollection (so there is no way I played them on acorn lol)

>> No.7135131

I can confirm it wasnt The Crystal Rainforest, but I MAY have actually played on an acorn computer before. I'll have a look for Sherston games in a mo, and see if I can find a lead

As for the Arqade, I'll use it as my last resort

Much thanks!

>> No.7135158

From what Ive seen, its not likely by Sherston, but appreciate the reference to it.

Definitely looks like its on the right track though, it was absolutely child friendly from what I recall.

>> No.7135346

I must be an idiot, or something, as the game Im thinking of absolutely wouldnt be able to play on an Acorn computer. I dont remember it being pixellated, but now that I think about it, the graphic design was kinda like it was made in paint or powerpoint?

>> No.7136350

Have you had any luck finding it?

>> No.7136624

Absolutely none. MAY have come close with other redditors POSSIBLY knowing what Im talking about, but otherwise no.

I'll use Arqade around next Wednesday, and keep the search up until then. I'll ask the TOMT reddit Discord incase they might be able to get a proper lead, too.

Anywhere else i should consider giving a go? May try and consider questioning the school it was in, but by now it's likely long gone, if not the staff members who used to be around with it. I know there was one particular staff member going by the name of Mr Morris, who's VERY likely to know what game Im talking about, as he seemed to like his games too, but getting hold of him will be the hardest part.

>> No.7136832

I'll try and keep an eye out, did you post a thread on Reddit?

I was looking through this website yesterday, it seems to have some pretty obscure stuff. Maybe the guy that runs it could have an idea?

http://www.mrbillsadventureland.com/

Additionally it might be worth asking on a forum specifically about educational software:

http://www.edugeek.net/forums/educational-software/

also: Since I remember the game involving a wood and that maybe the title involved the word wood this kind of made me pause for a bit:

https://www.turningpointtechnology.com/Software/IT-Software/KN01.asp

but there is hardly any information and I couldn't find anything else about this game anywhere

>> No.7136898

https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmytongue/comments/k4phz0/tomtgame2000sweird_british_game/

Might try the educational game, but from what I recall it wasnt fully educational (I.E had tidbits to educate a young audience, but primarily just a game)

I'll have a look at MBAL when I return home, looks like it could be a lead, will post back if I see anything remotely similar.

I dont RECALL the game itself being based around a forest/woods, but I DO remember there were a lot of grass areas. I THINK there was a part where you had to fix a leaking containment tank of some sort, with a tool you got from distracting an evil corp guy, and picking up the tool itself. Could be wrong, though.

I dont think Knosley Woods is the one Im after, though.

I also know that it was definitely in First Person from what I remember. I DONT remember any limbs being seen, or picking up animations, could be wrong again though.

Was there a screen where the main thing on screen was a house (maybe it had yellow/cream paint on the outside) and then you had to do a puzzle in a shed?

I like this kind of thread.

>> No.7137128

At least I know Im not going fucking insane, now that someone else remembers or at least knows what Im talking about. The pipe may have been what I thought the Containment tank was, as Im sure it was emanating into a stream?

The house thing does sound familiar. If I recall you'd start the game going into the house, hear a story, then leave the house to get something from the shed, of which those Venomous Spider creatures were in. The creatures themselves were either

A) Stirring because it was becoming spring, and they were waking up

B) Getting "angry" because you were disturbing their hibernation

C) Something else was riling them up

Im sure it was to do with the weather or season, though

A lot of obscure educational point and click games were regional exclusives due to how poorly some of them were made, so a lot of them logically is very hard to find cuz how rare and obscure they are. The game could be made exclusively to your town.I doubt someone will help you here.

But, well, you can try message this youtube channel if u want to know the game, dude has a really big collection of videos of some obscure quests in his channel.

Ive had to ask a friend from a more recent school, to contact the only friend I can currently think of who's not only been in the school the game was from, but also the school Contactee has been in. Its a wild fucking story as to why they blocked contact with me, but its equally as autistic as me. I'll sum the conversation up should it happen once it does.

Still yet to get a response from Bill, Mister, but once I do I'll post results.

It's not the crystal rainforest. I'm not the OP I'm the other guy that remembered it and the games were clearly distinct and featured quite different art styles.

If you read in the comments other people on Reddit were looking for similar games, the OP dismissed them as not the same but I think they could be the same game but with some details misremembered by one of the parties involved.

OP, I know you said the game wasn't knowsely wood but I think tommorow I might get in contact with Dr. Jim Turner at Liverpool John Moore's university who was one of the developers (as stated on his linkedin) and see if he can confirm or deny if his game is the one we are thinking of, or perhaps he knows of the game we are looking for (he specialises in educational technology so it could be possible).

Hey I'm looking for a game too, it was a pc game, overhead birds eye view. It was a futuristic setting where you through a steel ball back and forth and ran it down a field like football and could punch or tackle other dudes for the ball, or dive to catch it. It had multiple field designs, one was icy, most were steel themed, the championship level had a see through floor and was in space. You played in a bracket to get to the championship. You pick your team based on stats and they had names, and there may have been a leveling system. I also think there was an iOS port at some point if that helps. Keywords were something like "battle blitz steel ball" if anyone knows or can find it I'd be grateful. I'll even astral project into your next dream and help you find lucky spirits.

First most prominent memory is finished.

So, to reitterate

By clicking on a spider, some of the others would shift up. One of those basic Point and Click puzzles.

Befoe you do this puzzle, you're told how they're incredibly dangerous/Venomous, and that you needed to take precaution.

You were doing this puzzle for a parchment of some sort, which was on a little desk.

The shd itself I REMEMBER being dark, but it could have been the same colour as the desk. At best, I imagine it's a dark yellow, so apologies if Ive fucked everything up with just the background alone.

Your goal for the spider puzzle, BTW, if you couldnt guess, was to get them allto shift to the top. It was actually pretty easy, never remembered struggling on it.

What I THINK I remember is haing to grab gloves in the house you start in, to deal with them. Makes sense if they're highly dangerous.

7141907

This was a little difficult, as Im really unsure whether it was a stream, or pond. I think Memory Bro was right in it being a pond, but the idea was the same.

There was a pipe that, IIRC, connected to a containment tank, dumping shit into the water. The aim of it was to turn it off, cleaning the water, and making something happy?

If you went East, Im certain you went to either a factory, or the tank itself.

North took you into a forest if I recall correctly.

I couldnt remember the background or underneath of the pipe, so unfortunately Ive had no choice but to leave it blank.

The HUD was something Ive got mixed memories on. Im certain I recall the directional keys being clicked on, and that they were likely in dark red. Then you had the inventory system. I couldnt remember the tool you needed to shut the pipe down, so just drew a stand in tool/stick. Also drew the parchment from the spider puzzle as a reference, but in general I dont think you had it anymore at this point.

Im certain once you shut the pipe down, the water become clear instead of murky green

7141935

Had to screenshot as I made the image file too big

Anyways, yes, this is THE definitive welsh part of the game. Let me explain whats going on.

So, at some point, I think before the pipe, you happen upon some flowers. Daisies, Im VERY certain of. When you click on them, they zoom the fuck in, and this little creature (POSSIBLY creatures, but I only remember one) is like, hidden by the back petals. When you click on it, it comes onto the flower head, and says something in a high pitch "Welsh" phrase. Im adamant its welsh cos everyone else who used to play this game back then also said it was welsh, but we were like fucking mid functioning acoustics, younger than 12, but the game was very british, an it did sound eerily similar to it as we did do welsh in that school.

Im certain it was pink, or magenta, too, but could be way off.

I THINK it had whiskers. Im sure it had big googly eyes though.

"This is a bit lazy, doing it on someone elses picture" YES, but this is also the best reference I can put out. The game relied on mostly stock nature photos, with the characters drawn/animated ontop of them. It was eerily like this, in a way.

I think I've onkly really go the Log puzzle left to draw, so I'll do my best to remember what I can. Its since been coming back to me.

Then I'll do what I THINK the cover looked like. The cover'll be the hardest, as it had all the characters and creatures on it, and I cant for the life of me remember what they all looked like.

I also remember there was a section I never got past, maybe it was predicated on finding a key or item or finishing all the other sections but getting past this part was clearly necessary to finish the game.

Yeah, Ive recently been remembering a factory too, Im certain its connected to the Pipe picture, at the east of it.

I think the background factory may make some sense to me given time, I'll have to just keep thinking on it.

found another post possibly about this game

"Back when I was in primary school there was this point and click adventure game they had on the desktop PCs that nobody could ever finish. I want to give it a shot again but now I don't remember the title and can't find it anywhere.

From what I remember your characters name is crinkle (or it at least sounds like how you would say that) and you have to stop a company from destroying the magic forest.

The only bits of gameplay I remember besides that is there is a part where you speak to a character that looks like the sun at a river with a log bridge and it gives you one of its tears, and there is a part of the area you explore where you can sit down and sleep (for what purpose I don't know) and when you go to move again the narrator says "wake up crinkle! It's time to go". There was also this creature that lived in a tree trunk that you have to give an item to and he'll make you an ID.

This has been bugging me for years so any and all help is appreciated"

Strangely, though, I (an unrelated anon) was only able to realize, suddenly upon reading your comments, that I had actually probably seen Speedball played, once, very briefly, during the one occasion when I ever encountered an Amiga in person. I was at another kid's house and although he would have let me play, I wasn't the type to ask and he was the type to show off cool stuff so I think I never actually played it but instead just watched.

It's just some 4chan feature that lets you give yourself a persistent "name" that others can't steal. I guess you could look up how to use it pretty easily, but It doesn't matter too much. Most of the lawsuits likely to arise as a result of fraud committed by your imposters here will come to nothing thanks to national jurisdictional limitations, and the remainder could probably be settled with funds that will seem paltry to you once you've become a global media star for the reality series that will be made of this, the quest that (though you don't know it now) will come to occupy the remainder of your life.

Am I thinking of the same game Im seeking, or was there also like an Asian man or something that constantly sneezed, his whole gimmick was asking you what your favourite thing is, and making a sneezing joke or something

im adamant thats a different game but now I think about it, I should be able to remember enough to draw him. He'd ask you your favourite food, you'd type in literally anything, and he'd be all "Ahhh, (object), I like that too! achoo!"

im fairly certain that's a completely different game, but in the event it isn't, I also remember a hill with white stones from that same game. Im likely digging through different memories at this point. when I return home tomorrow I'll likely need a nap, but I'll get to work on the forum posts as soon as Im online.

I think, if there's no lead by Thursday, I'll try some of the other reddits andsee if I get an actual fucking response other than "Oh yeah, we didnt really try, but here's some other people looking for it".

Only problems I see there, is that they just remove the thread due to it not being relevant enough. Imma try r/Wales, considering I played the game in Wales, there's more of a chance someone knows what Im talking about

Also a VERY low chance of someone having been to the same school it was in. I'll bring that up, just in case.

>> No.7155334

>>7155274
It was definitely a PC cos it was in a school I played it. Back when the fat screens were used. Played before 2006, was like maybe 10 around then. I DOUBT it's acorn, but it WAS an old OS, so there's a TINY chnce it's Acorn, but I highly doubt it.

Point and click, educational from what I gathered, it was only on one disk, but reportedly someone MAY have played it on floppies. I dont remember a floppy. I DONT remember a language select, I KINDA remember a main menu, upon which when you started the game, you'd start off in a house. I think the ouse was dark on the outside, but bright inside. Your first task may have been to grab some gloves to take on The Shed Spider puzzle.

Ive honestly done my hardest to rely on muscle memory, and Im surprised Ive remembered as much as I have. Im just sorry I cant provide ingame screenshots at the very least, and literally had to draw what I remember, likely incorrectly, onto a blank canvas and post them here.

It was definitely first person, with flat 2D sprites, mostly MS Paint Style. I dont remember any backgrounds being MS painted, but theres a small chance there could have been SOME where the fantasy element needed it. Everything else was just drawn and animated onto a stock nature background The game cant be ANY older than 2005, as I dont remember the staff bringing it in. Likely, it was brought in before I came to the school, so Id say earliest it could have existed was midway 1990s

OK so, someone may know what Im talking about, and thinks it could be an Acorn game, so sometime tomorrow I'll get checking through Acorns. The're certain it was using photographs for backgrounds too, and the main character may have been a girl.

The BIGGEST thing that hit me was that they said it may have been a Myst-like. Ive personally never gotten to play Myst (And I know its not myst either, just in case someone thinks Im mistaken), so maybe those two things could help.

Had to go to gfs last night due to her working late and animals needing care. everything is good.

Ill personally keep checking for graphic adventures, but may need to move away from abandonment as I didnt even see Darby the Dragon amongst it all, of which I remember we'd play alongside TOBG

that said, Darby was published slap bang 1990s, and we did also used to play Hugo, which was roughly around then. maybe these memories can help make a link?

Aight, Im here again. Im gonna try draw what I can remember from recent recollections, and see if it helps get us anywhere.

I also wanna say that th game in question, likely couldnt have been on anything older than Windows 2000. I was certain it was 95, but 95 looks a little too old for it. I WAS gonna say Windows 3.1 may have been a chance, too, as apparently Darby WAS playable on it.

All in all, the game would have had to be playable on the same OS that Darby the Dragon, and Hugo's Text Adventure, were usable on. I THINK Hugo MAY have been on a bootleg software? Cos from what Ive seen, H'sHoH wasnt ever on CD. Darby was though. Im certain the OBG was in a sort of DVD disc case, not like a simple CD case for back then. Darby, Im sure, was loose.
Im really only detailing all this useless information in the event it can be used to link us closer to an answer.

Im still tired as fuck, Kyledrink.exe didnt do shit (Thanks monster), so my heads stressing over what might be relevant, what may be stretched, and if Ive even got all the right information. I fucking hate relying on muscle memory

>> No.7164201

Oh yeah, almost forgot. Legends World has accepted me, but at this point itd be better to ask after next year (So I can keep track of everything)

And the school it was played in has a twitter. There's a completely different headmaster now, and I dont recognise any of the staff Ive seen, so most likely Ive lost any chance of contact with anyone prior to my leaving.
I'm not gonna post school's twitter for obvious reasons, but I have tweeted out to them, and will see if they respond.

I will now proceed to inhale cancerplant, and then begin to draw, who I presume to be called, Mr Atchoo, the Sneezing Asian

Incase it helps find it before I finish drawing, the scene I remember was of a looping MS paint style asian man constantly sneezing (Like a typical cartoon, with the whole back arching and flying in the air sorta thing), with a cone hat, and grey robe. I dont remember if he had anything other than a stereotype going on for him, with constant sneezing jokes. I BELIEVE his name was Mr Achoo, which makes sense if his character was supposed to be asian. He'd ask what your favourite thing to eat was, and once you'd respond he'd say "Ah, yes, (object) is my favourite thing to eat too! Achoo!"

I do remember very fondly we'd always input something like poop. I remember it was locked to whatever or however you spelt. So if you typed in JeFf, he'd also say JeFf.

Im sure he stopped you entering a place until you answered his questions. I'll proceed to try and draw what I remember

I REALLY hope I dont catch flak for this, its honestly what I remember. A cloaked asian man thatsneezed constantly. He'd stand there, with a shit eating grin, in a constant loop of cartoonishly sneezing.

Youd have to type in what food you liked, and he'd say its his favourite regardless.

Im sure the text box that opened up took up the bottom of the screen, and was just purely white with black text.

IKR? Pretty cringe, but needed all the help I can get, so had to overlook it.

As for everyone else, Im really starting to consider whether or not it really is Knowsley Woods

Maybe next year,alongside this thread's phoenixification, I could maybe look into finding out more about Knowsley, if anyone's upto that? Dont wanna make promises just yet, as I wanna prioritise my own search for now.

Ive had the suggestion of posting to TOMT, but as we all know they were about as helpful as a button with no hole to go into. I got till mid Thursday to wrap this up, or at least get us somewhere, IDK yet.

I'll leave my reddit for whatever reason before I go, I'll also take suggestions as to what board to post to. Need one that's gonna get me somewhere. I love a good laugh but I really dont wanna dredge this out for far too long.

Thanks again, for all the support in searching alongside me, it's been an absolute honor

It just doesnt look like it's Knowsley. I dont remember a single basic educational question, and more of a question relating to the game. Am I making sense or is my retardation kicking in?

just to remind you that your thread is almost 14 days old.
can't bump 14 days old thread in /vr/ so you might need to make a new thread.

yeah I think you're right, it also seems to not have the right kind of "aesthetic" and also be a liverpool specific thing

Id be confident enough to say that I think the title HAD woods, or Forest, or even hill in the end of the title. But Im heavily likely wrong.

I fucking hate having to rely on nothing but muscle memory, as its the most unreliable fucking thing possible. Especially cos your brain just adds whatever the fuck it thinks is right and just makes you think "Oh yeah, I DEFO remember dis"

If my aspergers were in the compartment of incredible memory, sure, Id be happy to rely on that, but Im really just about as special as Chris Chan in all fairness.

I dont remember TOBG being set in the UK, but then I dont remember much of the beginning other than The Shed Spider puzzle, and the likelyhood of you coming out of a house to go into a shed and do said puzzle.

Im getting all sorts of mixed images, could you show me what exactly you're talking about? As far as Im aware its entirely unrelated, but I dont know what you're getting me to look at, so I'll patiently wait for your correspondance, many thanks

I looked up and down on archive.org and I can't find it. Hopefully other anons are able to explain it better or can find screenshots. Another approach is that we also could find an archived live version of https://pbskids.org/retired/zoom/

No, not at all. This sounds American, too, so far too out of the pond for it to be relevant to what Im after.

Many thanks regardless, appreciate the help!

OP, by 'I used to play back in school', do you mean it was on your school's computers?

If so, try searching for educational games and their suppliers.

From what I remember, it was on a CD, and I dont think it was HEAVILY intended fr education. IDK how to really describe it, sorry.

I dont remember any games really being already installed on the school computers par maybe your basic windows 2000s minigames, like Solitaire and such.

Well, apparently, the thread should now begin natural decay. Thank you, great anons (and funny ones alike) for all the effort you've put in. I WILL return after next year.

In the event you need me, https://www.reddit.com/user/JeffEntrepeneur
Is my reddit. I likely wont use it much untilI start this search up again, but I'll try checking it every few days to see if anyone's been able to get anywhere.

Its beena long arduous journey, but one I feel has been worth it. It at least proved Im not criminally insane, and that other people are also searching.

If you could, suggest me a board to post to, cos otherwise I'll just repost here withall the info I've since been able to come up with.

Until we meet again, you magnificent people.

I'll still keep checking and responding, but thread will likely pass whenever.

It really has been an honor. Thank you.

Ive only ever been in constant contact with one guy from that school, and only cow he somehow kept getting put ion the same schools as me. We were like 10 to 11 oldest when we left that school, around 2009, so its not like Facebook was really a choice, let alone any other messenger

Still no game, huh? Damn. I'm rooting for you, OP.

We should all rest for now. Continue our search for TOBG once we enter a new age of "Where the fuck is my nostalgia"
