An MMORPG inside a crazyhouse would be cool. Pick your character class:

1) Sadistic Nurse
2) Mad Scientist
3) Supervillian
4) Napoleon

I do remember reading that google was banned (although correct me ifi'm wrong) so i edited my answer.

Hey, I got Hexen and Cap answered one previous to that!

But mine is not official, since I was mentioning a game I would like to try at some point in the future, which led to people asking for clues...

well im guessing Statics crazy picture one is like an small snack while we wait for Cap TVK to give us more info? - maybe we should let people guess for something to do but maybe if they get it right it shouldn't count as a 'real' guess?? Otherwise its going to get confusing with all the, ' i guessed before the last one after the one before' type stuff?

Google is bad for this game, but looking through your 20 year old back issues of magazines is ok - (hmm they are probably older than some of the guys guessing! )

ADG whats the verdict on this between guess stuff?

More clues? Here we go...

A general one
In the releases at the time, this game had no equal
In fact, the company even went on for a sequel!...


And a game related one...
Living in a post apocalyptic socitiety
Will lead people into notoriety...
So our new leaders took away our identity
By making traditional monks garbs a necessity...



So, what game am I?

Grrrrr! this is getting under the skin

So far we've had these clues:

'I try to find people, it's all i do.
But at least I won't be eaten by a grue...
It's strange to hear that in my world not a single word is spoken.
Yet I can travel new Amsterdam without a token...
But the strangest thing of all.
That talking eyeballs give me the call...'

'No older, it's from the late 80's and appeared for the PC, Apple and other 16 bit computers.'

'I'm not empty handed, I do carry a tracking kit
In fact, one would to be mad not to use it ...'

'A general one
In the releases at the time, this game had no equal
In fact, the company even went on for a sequel!...'

'And a game related one...
Living in a post apocalyptic socitiety
Will lead people into notoriety...
So our new leaders took away our identity
By making traditional monks garbs a necessity...'


Maybe Broken Sword 1?

I assumed "New Amsterdam" was a clue relating to "New York" and "tokens" were in someway related to the subways.

I remember playing this, but did not like it or figure out how it worked. I saw that there was a sequel, though.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

In the year 2002, the Orbs, an alien race composed of enormous eyeballs, invaded the planet Earth. More specifically, they invaded New York, rendering it a hollowed out shell of the city it once was. Two years later, you play a Manhunter with no particular place or identity in society. You have neither a family, friends, nor a personal life. As a Manhunter, your only job appears to be tracking down human criminals and bringing them to justice (hence the sinister job tile).
