I can't reminder the name of this game.

The game was set in a spooky medieval village/graveyard and you fought skeletons and other spooky stuff like black bird and trolls . If I recall the game was named after the main character. You had to find keys or something to advance out of the village. you could use magic like ball of fire and stuff to kill the enemies or beat them with a staff. and your character looked like a bold peasant monk or something. it was also a isometric 3d game. More of a cartoony kids game.

Any ideas? I also kind of recall it being a shearwere game. and I played it on a windows 98box, the game was late 90's early 2000's if I recall.

Not even close, that game was much newer and isometric, and more of a kids game.

Perhaps you can give an example of a similar game that you consider to be "isometric". Do you mean like Twinsen's Odyssey / Little Big Adventure? Or Ecstatica?

I could not find it on any of the sites links.
I'm about 100% sure i got it from a shear-ware and had to mail out a check to buy the game.

Dick Smallwood?

Dink Smallwood, rather. I didn't think of that one. (It was officially released as freeware quite some time ago.)

Also "shareware". As in "share" and "sharing".

It fails all the time, but not for any lack of time or effort by its contributors - there's just too many damn games out there. 😜

moby's interface is better than others(could be improved a lot though,) but others have bigger catalogs, apple 2 for example:

dos
moby: 6722
http://www.mobygames.com/browse/games/dos/

total collection: 11600+ (abandonwware group but don't fret abandonware police, this is just the catalog, they've done good work in hunting things down, the most complete listing I know of.)

total collection also lists missing: 3914

very close, I think it was a clone of that game

I also most think I'd be better off going though old shareware disks. I'm almost sure that is were I got the game from.
