Do you remember the game from this fragment of a screenshot? Leave your answer in the comments! Today’s Remember This comes from Kotaku reader Mark (not Serrels, another Mark!). Let’s see if he can stump the community in the way that I have failed to as of late.
Remember This?

This was going to be my guess. I think this is what you get when you use the invisibility cloak and the flying cane at the same time.

It looks like a Whip you can pick up.
I looked up the games, and there are like 7 versions/Episodes of in the Kroz series and Super Kroz…But what I’m saying is, this looks like a whip you can pick up off the black dungeon floor in any of those games, that all use the same GUI and engine!

It is indeed Kingdom of Kroz!
Man, good call. Here is the screenshot: http://www.vgmaps.com/Atlas/PC/CavernsOfKroz-Level07.png
I totally zoomed right in on that little cane thing. 😀
Well done! And a big thanks to Mark for suggesting this game!

Oh Boy, I remember that level! This game was *difficult*, and funnily enough I think some of the shareware levels were from the later more difficult parts of the game, instead of the milder first levels, as per normal shareware.
I never thought I would get a “Remember This”, Yay!!! Thanks Mark, Chris and Tracy!

It was a great game, and a great suggestion. I think it must be about 15 years since I’ve even seen this game; on our old IBM Compatible. 16 MHtz processor, but she went to 32MHtz when you hit the Turbo button! It also made all the games too fast to play.
Kroz was part of this suite of shareware games we had, it included such gems as Jungle Jill, World Domination, Wolf3D, Commander Keen, Duke Nukem… I managed to finish everything except Wolfenstein: me and my brother had to get our dad to come and sit with us when we played, because we were secretly scared when playing. Cut us some slack: we were 5-6 years old! 😀

Is it that geek mythology one where you could choose one of about fifty characters? I can’t remember the name, I want to say Jason and the Argonauts but it had characters and elements from every single greek myth.
Had that on the crappy school PC in 1990.

To stop people from guessing, the answer was revealed on the first page! The game is Kingdom of Kroz: http://www.vgmaps.com/Atlas/PC/CavernsOfKroz-Level07.png
Thank you all for playing. 🙂

Hey Tracey, I’m not sure the link on your clipboard was the link you thought was on your clipboard!
Could have been worse though! 😀

This reminds me of old DOS game Pharaoh’s Tomb. It used shades of bright orange and not so bright orange and a bit of green. I don’t remember much that was just white on black.
Maybe Arctic Adventure?

Man, I loved Pharaoh’s Tomb. Shareware version 😛
Played through that so many times as a kid… then found out a year or two ago that they had recently been released as freeware! So excited. Pretty sure I played through the rest of PT, but haven’t touched Arctic Adventure yet.
