Something has been driving me nuts for the past few months and I'd really like to get this solved.
When I was a kid way back in the 90s, my dad had a copy of this video game lying around. Some coworker had given it to him and he brought it home(at the time, our computer had no CDrom drive). My dad's never been a gamer, so he put the game on a shelf and left it there. I was always curious about it, and years later I took the game and tried to play it. By then I couldn't get it to work(its probably a very early dos game) and its bugged me ever since that I never got to play it.
I held on to the game for years after dad gave it to me. But somewhere in the intervening decades it has been lost. I never consciously got rid of it, so it may still be laying around in a forgotten box.
Here is the problem: I cannot remember what the game was called. I would recognize the CD case cover instantly if I saw it again.
Here's what I know:
-it was fantasy-themed
-it came in one of those cardboard an plastic jewel cases instead of the standard plastic ones
-the disk itself had no printing on it
-It was probably old by 1995-96, so late 80s/early 90s timeframe.
I know archive.org has a good repository of old game stuff but without a name I can't narrow it down. I'm wondering if there's some kind of very thorough list somewhere of early CDrom games I can dig through? I might even recognize the name if I saw it.
