I've been trying to find a game from my childhood, quite possibly the first game i ever played on a computer in primary school.

I can remember small but very rough images of the game, some details, and i've been looking for something similar all evening to use as a base for what I'm looking for....

...So far the most i can go on is that it looks similar to little big adventure 1, same sort of camera angle, but i definitely remember worse graphics than that(far more grainy). It was on primary school computers (whether they were acorns, dos or something else i can't remember) so i presume it was in some way a puzzle/adventure game.

Being even more vague, i remember muddy ground, lots of brown. It may even have been set in some sort of ancient times as I'm sure i remember a pyramid in it and primitive housing. Though i could be wrong there.

Any ideas folks?

EDIT: i should probably add we're looking at 1997 at the latest here. Would have definitely been a 90s game.
 
None of them either :(

It's going to be a really difficult one because it won't be a popular game i reckon or one that will appear in lists of known games....i can't even remember if it was any good, it was probably utter **** but i was like 8 or 9 at the time so to my mind then it was the greatest thing in the world.
 
Neither of those.

It had the same "look" in terms of camera angle, and grainy graphics as baldurs gate for example, a little worse than BG though.
 
That Heimdall game looks like the closest thing to what i remember. Sadly it's still none of these though.

I doubt it was any game where you kill anything that's for sure, it's more likely to be an adventure/puzzle/learning esque game i reckon.

I wish i could remember but sadly my memory isn't good enough. I've seen so many old computers over time that it's difficult to distinguish one from another now.

Similar graphics again, if anything probably the most similar game to what i remember of any so far.

I can't remember for certain but i think there was more of a field of view to it than just a square area like that though, those graphics in terms of detail + little big adventure in terms of area you could see.

I knew it'd be a massive long shot to find this, i doubt i'll ever find it unless someone here has some sort of revelation about what I'm talking about. Of course there's also the fact that the image i have in my head is so rough that i may not recognise it if i see it! I reckon if someone does find it though and i remember it i'll give them a present of some sort lol

I know :( I guess it's best left as a memory, because i loved it as a kid, but games are never as you remember them when you play them again after so many years.

I remember loving a game on my spectrum when i was a kid but i played it again last year and it just wasn't the same...in fact it felt awful and messed up my memory of that game lol
