I remember, back in the early 90s (or possibly '89) getting a disc from PC Gamer with a demo on it. I was never able to find the game, and I'd love to look it up now, if only I could remember what it is! :)

Here's what I think I remember (being older, I'm never quite sure):

It used full motion video, and would have been one of the first games to do so.
It was definitely under the radar and, as far as I know, wasn't a huge seller.
It features some kind of tie to greek mythology.
It felt (to me) kind of like I was playing in the role of Perseus from the first (coughcough*real*coughcough) Clash of the Titans film. It wasn't Clash, but it felt that way to me.
There was a scene where I was on a river (Styx?) and I had to get between a closed cavern in front of me.

That's about it. Can anyone please help me sleep better tonight (without the aid of medication)?

And just because I'm feeling semi-generous (and this is not a bribe in any way, of course:) the first person to make me go "NELLY FURTADO, THAT'S IT!" (because her name makes a GREAT curse word. Seriously. Say it out loud. DO IT! Cool, huh?) will win themselves a $5.99 GoG game of their choice (and my eternal gratitude. At least, until I forget it again.).

^ That looks like a fun game.

NELLY FURTADO, THAT'S IT!

Should've asked you guys earlier. :)
Nice job. Name your game (and email), Good Sir! I remember it being fun enough as a demo to want to play the rest...but then, I used to own [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slime_(toy]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slime_(toy[/url]) back in the 70s, so...your mileage may vary. :)

Don't worry about the reward, I've got more than enough to tide me over for the moment. :)

I used to love PC Gamer demo disks. I installed so many demos back in the day.

Side note: If he doesn't want it, I imagine someone else could find a good use for a $5.99 game... :o)

Just for neat and tidiness sake, mark his post as a "solution" to your question. ;)

I received an insane amount of these demo disks (as well as PC Accelerator ones) for free a while ago. I spent days digging through those discs, they were AWESOME.

Sorry, was gone for a few hours. Will do. :) Very generous of you. I'll pass it on as a contest soon. :)
