Recently I've found myself thinking of an adventure game from the early-mid 1990s that I loved.  I can't remember the name, the publisher or much about it, but I do remember it was some kind of sci-fi thing.  If I remember correctly there were 3 monsters or mutants or something, but they were detectives or police..  I remember one was a vampire, and the guy could turn into mist.  I am probably wrong, but the name Psysomething has been coming to mind, like Psylocks or something, but I can't remember...

I have no idea why this game has been popping into my head lately, but its been driving me nuts not being able to think of the name..  Anyone remember this game?

Thanks,

Bill

Thats it!  Thanks so much!  I need to check it out, maybe I need to get a copy again or something.  Its odd how after so many years, something odd like this will just pop abck into your head.

Thanks again,

Are you thinking of Runaway? I had a demo (more of a tech demo I think) of that on one of these "Over 150 games" CDs. I still have the CD but I've never been able to find anything out about the full game. If its the one I'm thinking of the first puzzle was Spoiler below, select the area to read the text
Putting a banana in the drinking trough so that it overflowed, then when the keeper came to fix it stealing his key to unlock the cage door

Yeah that's the one. And I too had it on a Game Collection (I'm thinking it was 700 games), but I was never able to get it to work on my later computers (XP, maybe even 98). If it's the scratched CD, I'll try to find it online. If not, I'm gonna run it with DOSbox!

Thanks $1

Bringing you your daily dose of awesome.

Play-testing: Exhaustive ability to hammer at anything until it breaks. I never get bored when I'm testing something. Honestly, I can go for hours.Voice acting: I can do various accents. Scottish (obviously), Irish, Welsh, English, passable American, passable Jamaican, passable Australian. I like to think I put a lot of emotion into my work.Music: I can make midis in various styles.Proof reading: I have the (sometimes unfortunate) ability to spot typos and grammar errors without even looking for them. They just kind of pop out at me, which is somewhat distracting if I'm reading for pleasure.Story design: I'm a very imaginative, creative person, and have written several short stories (in the process of working on a couple of novels).

I believe the full game was also called Monkey Run at one point.

Did they actually finish it? The readme wants $30 for the retail version (quite a bit compared to the other games on that disc) and contains the line "Your good ideas are welcome! We are flexible and free to decide for any additions", so I just assumed it folded. That and you can't search for point and click adventures called Runaway without finding Pendulo Studio's game.

Seems like the Thumb can't get a signal here.

A German group called "The Pixel Team". I'm pretty sure the 'Test version' that I have is shareware, so I've uploaded it here. Runs fine in DOSBox.
