Hi all!

I just discoverd your forum while looking for a very unusual and probably very rare game. I only saw it on a Compaq Presario 425 (the french version, 486 25 Mhz, 4Mb of Ram 100Mb hard drive), as it was bundled with it.

It was an adventure educational game (point and click), if I recall correctly. The player was lost on a desert island and had to find his way by learning how the computer worked, and find different computer parts (and also how to assemble them).

I know my description is, at best, quite poor. However I was wondering if this rang a bell on any happy owner of Presario 425?
If your computer was bundled with the game Mario is Missing and Tabworks (an alternative shell pre-win95), you probably had this game with it!
Also, there was an incredible 3D wireframe ping pong game with an first person game perspective, in the same bundle.

If you have any info on these games, please say so 😀

Thanks !
Gabriel

Hi there,
I don't know whether you found a copy of this game in the end, if that was indeed your intention, but I may well have a copy. Let me know if this would be of interest.

how about provifing some more info on this, like a shot or something
this is a 7 years old thread, so I do not know if OP is still around/interested but if this thing is obscure maybe someone else is interested - though your answer doesn't really give any info
will keep this open for now

I get the feeling someone is fishing for a transaction for a random peice of software they found
