Eternam!

Awesome game btw.

qptain Nemo · Mon 22/07/2013 16:36:06

I knew you'd guess in 3 seconds, but the screenie was too fun not to use.

Yeah, lovely game.

abstauber · Mon 22/07/2013 17:16:10

Yeah, some epic dialogs are going on there

Now from cats to dogs:

Haha, I actually consdered posting this! It's Ooze: Creepy Nites.

Babar · Mon 22/07/2013 18:15:24

Hahah! I posted this a while back in this thread, didn't I? That is Fish!

qptain Nemo · Mon 22/07/2013 19:24:31

Perhaps I should read the entire thread.

Correct.

Babar · Mon 22/07/2013 19:31:02

Nice little game, that.
I'm scraping the bottom of my barrel of obscurity here, hopefully this won't be too easy:

Stripped of its GUI and title.

CaptainD · Mon 22/07/2013 19:44:36

Cactus Adventure?

Okay, I made that one up. I think.

Babar · Mon 22/07/2013 19:50:33

That sounds like it'd be pretty boring

.
Cactii(?) and deserts don't really play a prominent role in this game, this was just the first screenshot I could find that didn't give away a major hint of the game immediately.

abstauber · Tue 23/07/2013 09:10:48

Mhh.. doesn't look very familiar, but someone sure liked DPaint's gradient splatter

What's that little rectangle in the lower left corner? Is this screenshot part of a minigame?

@qptain Nemo: I'm stunned how fast you've guessed Ooze. So it was had some commercial success outside of Germany?

I naively thought it was somewhat apparent that I'm just a game nerd, with huge interest in 90s abandonware and adventure games in particular, and a MobyGames addict. ^_^ I haven't even played Ooze yet, but it looked interesting and that particular screenshot amused me a lot when I stumbled upon it, so it was definitely memorable for me. So I can't comment on Ooze's commercial success outside of Germany, but that's the story behind my guess.

Babar · Tue 23/07/2013 10:53:38

Not part of a minigame, abstauber, just that when you move the mouse over important bits of the screen, that would show up. Currently it is pointing to an area that had an object I just picked up.

Oh, and I cannot find this game on MobyGames

.
Here's another screen to help you out, with a little more of the GUI showing:

qptain Nemo · Tue 23/07/2013 20:56:05

I'm guessing it's a game somewhere from 1996 to 2000.

Babar · Tue 23/07/2013 21:11:16

Nope! You're looking too far ahead with your guess.

qptain Nemo · Wed 24/07/2013 07:50:53

I think it's time for more revealing screenshots...

Babar · Wed 24/07/2013 09:55:49

I guess I did find one that was more difficult

.
A more revealing screenshot, but I've taken the liberty of still hiding two things.

In exchange I can tell you it was an edutainment game, and I'm not finding much presence for it online aside from a couple of lets plays and pages on abandonware sites. Nemo already has a vague direction of the date of release from what I corrected of his guess earlier.
I can't make it any easier other than almost literally giving away the name of the game (which you'd be able to totally guess from what I've hidden

).
