Strategy game?

 

[Franky Family]

This one is PC only (sorry)

No problem. The only PC game I played was Putt Putt the Car lol. Some education / math game. And I think I booted up Myst once for like a few minutes. Besides that, I watched someone play the Monkey Island game a few times and that's as far as my history with PC gaming goes

Was it made in the 90s?

 

[Gold Loot]

Was it made in the 90s?

Mid eighties.

Small hint. It was a unique game. If it released today,it would probably be considered to be an 'artsy fartsie' indie game.

Microsoft?

Wait. Was it on C64 and DOS or just C64?

 

[Gold Loot]

Not MS. I don't think this was on MS dos. It was on c64 , spectrum, and Atari PCs.

 

[Aarbron]

Not MS. I don't think this was on MS dos. It was on c64 , spectrum, and Atari PCs.

Hmm, I was thinking perhaps "Little Computer People" by Activision but that came out on more platforms.

 

[HE1NZ]

Is there a narrative in the game?

 

[Gold Loot]

Hmm, I was thinking perhaps "Little Computer People" by Activision but that came out on more platforms.

Ha. I remember that game.

 

[Aarbron]

Not MS. I don't think this was on MS dos. It was on c64 , spectrum, and Atari PCs.

Just clarify, the Atari port, was it Atari 8bit computer or Atari ST range (or both)?

 

[Gold Loot]

According to wiki. It's C64, apple II , MSX , and Atari 8bit family. Amstrad as well.

Does this game have a Persian theme and a magic carpet flying through abstract shapes?

 

[Arkam]

Is it Hacker? Guessing that one due to your "big publisher" remark. I forgot this game even existed. I played in on my Apple II. Never got far... but I was young.

Master of the Lamps?

 

[Gold Loot]

Master of the Lamps?

Yes sir! You are correct!
Can't believe you got that with so few hints.

I almost shit myself when you said "Little Computer People". Same publisher and it even featured Master of the Lamps music.

You get some dpad+ on me.

Me and my friends loved that game as a kid. It was a critical darling that time forgot. Surprised nobody has tried to remake it as a smaller budget game.
