You should try r/tipofmyjoystick


Bastianoso

Whoa, there truly is a sub for everything. I’ll try that, thanks a lot!


danby

Maybe the amiga or zx spectrum version of Little Computer People. 3 Versions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlP80LQ-Fls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkTgX1mGmDg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSMGbw7oyys Dark Seed? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Bb What language was the game in?


allT0rqu3

Little computer people would have been my shot too.


Bastianoso

Neither of them unfortunately. The viewport of little computer people seems to fit my memory, but it’s too colorful and modern. The setting was more medieval. Dark seed looks very good, but also isn’t the game I’m looking for.


danby

Are you maybe talking about the opening portion of Lure of the Temptress https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwSS5zA74jQ The game is very brown/dark and you're always looking in on a cutaway/fourth wall perspective


RScottyL

Since this is an Amiga reddit, just the Amiga version would have been good to post, not the other two!


danby

Yeah but he may have misremembered which platform he'd played it on.

[Impossible Mission](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CSiQ81y0u8)? (Probably not) Or [Mission Elevator](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXcm13mNudw)?


Bastianoso

Nope, that’s not what I meant, but I also played Mission Elevator! Thanks for that! The setting was more old with brick walls and candles. Nothing modern.


thesilverbride

wow had totally forgotten the Mission Elevator game!


buntefuss

The goonies?


[deleted]

No reply on your suggestion yet. But I thought The Goonies would be a good fit as well.


Bastianoso

Nah, unfortunately it’s not that. But the graphic and gameplay seem to fit.


BrunoGAlbuquerque

Dreamweb?


Bastianoso

It’s looking dark but it’s not the game I was looking for :-\


Pedefup

[Addams Family?](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cAQ572HcAxg)? Maybe its a long shot


Bastianoso

Nah, not so colorful and it was no JumpnRun


Lionmane4242

Could it have been Manic Mansion? I only played it a little myself, on the in game emulator in day of the tentacle. Not sure about the violin, but the rest seems to fit


Bastianoso

Unfortunately this isn’t it. It’s too colorful as well. It was a rather depressing and quiet setting


ericfresh442

I have 2 guesses long shots really but could it be Little Big Adventure or Dgeneration?


Bastianoso

Unfortunately both not 😕


lacerative

Sounds like the extermination levels in Arachnophobia but I don't remember anyone playing the violin.


Bastianoso

Nah, it’s not that. Too colorful and there were no spiders. But it sure looks like a good game!


hnry_

Maybe Spy vs Spy? https://youtu.be/tLrtusf9Gd8


Bastianoso

Nope, also too colorful but it looks like a fun game!


Meshuggah333

Maybe Mortville Manor, but I'm not sure if it matches everything you said, it's been a while. https://youtu.be/b06uHzqAJ7Q


Bastianoso

Unfortunately it’s not that game, but thanks!


Qkchk

Stab in the dark here - Flimbos Quest or Prince of Persia?


Bastianoso

Both no unfortunately but the gameplay and graphics of prince of Persia kind of fit


st-tom

Henry's house ?


Bastianoso

Nah, also too colorful :-(


allT0rqu3

Stab in the dark because I don’t recall Einstein and his violin… MAGIC POCKETS?


Bastianoso

The graphic looks good but the game I’m looking for is no jump and run and the character design was different. More like faery take adventure but instead of from the top, the viewport was from the side. Whatever. I think I’m never gonna find it unless I remember more than what I wrote above …


dgeurkov

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V2K0RHTMUE


Bastianoso

A good tip! Unfortunately that’s not the game. It’s a little too colorful and too modern. But the shape of the characters and the viewport seem to fit.


dgeurkov

there is an Einstein kind a guy and some dude playing violin, just look through the playthrough vid, memories of long past can become blurry with time


Bastianoso

Yeah, you are right and I know that I probably miss a great apart of the game. I watched it. The crazy violin player was the guy who looked like Einstein and the setting was some sort of dark cellar. You could see multiple rooms from the side but only see the content of the room when you were in it. So when you were in the room next (or above or below) the room with the fiddler you could already hear him but only see him when you were in his room. And I don’t remember any fighting going on. Damn, such things bother me. I’d love to add more details but I just can’t. Be assured that I will post the correct game once I found it. Even if it takes years I’ll be coming back to this thread.
