I'm trying to find the name of the game I used to play in 1990 or something like that.

In the game you are this guy who runs around in a cave, sidescolling and it's something of a puzzlegame, trying to find your way to the exit. You could turn switches which opened doors, use elevators, etc. It came with a leveleditor as well. It's not something like emerald mines or boulderdash. If anyone happens to know the name, I'd be a happy camper:)

Thanks in advance!

I've moved this thread to the "Looking For A Game Name?" forum.

A Prehistoric Tale?

Ah, that's the second time I posted in the wrong forum;) I'll look better next time for that...

The prehistoric tale comes close to the game I mean, graphics wise, but it's a different game name I'm after... Contraption Zack isn't the game either, unfortunately. However, thanks to both for trying to help out here:)

Nope, unfortunately not.... As I mentioned, it came with a built in level editor, but the prehistoric Tale kinda resembles the graphics of the game I'm looking for... However, I do not know if it was shareware or not...

Nope, Rick ain't the d00d either;)

The graphics signature of Prehistoric Tale shown above in this thread comes close to the style of graphics used in the game I remember (but aaargh, not the title:shocked )

No, those ain't the games either. I think I'll just have to cherish the memory of that game, what's left of it that is:)

Maybe, one day, I stumble upon it and I'll let you all know! Thanks everyone for the help though.

Hm, how odd, now I notice I have two usernames on this board hehe:)

Anyway, I found the game, finally! It's Boing! ... How stupid of me I couldn't remember the classic boing ball within the game which plays a prominent role..... I guess I will now spend the entire evening reliving that great puzzler:)

Hmm, never played that one. I'm assuming you're talking about this game:

I'm going to try it tonight, I love cute puzzle games (I'm probably one of the very few people addicted to 'the Power').
