Shamelessly hijacking your question because I too am trying to find a pair of games. They were text adventures that had some primitive graphics running in a low res mode. One was set on Mars exploring an abandoned(?) Base in a sci fi setting. The other was exploring an underground(?) Goblin city in a fantasy setting. Both games were probably made by the same developer because the UI was very similar between the two.
They were distributed on the cover disks of a British magazine called What Personal Computer in the early 90s.
- cestith 7y agoThe first one sounds like a few different games. Did it happen to be "Monuments of Mars"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monuments_of_Mars https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monuments_of_Mars If you like games like that, this one's not Mars but you might also enjoy Sentinel Worlds I: Future Magic. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=sentinel+worlds+future+magic https://duckduckgo.com/?q=sentinel+worlds+future+magic
- yrro 7y agoNah, it was much more of a text adventure, just rendered in a low resolution graphics mode with some primitive graphics. Sentinel Worlds looks cool, I'll check it out!
- pwg 7y agoGiven nothing more than your descriptions, the first game sounds like a description that could be somewhat applied to Infocom's Leather Goddess of Phobos, and the second sounds similar to a description that could be applied to Infocom's Zork series. Both are pure text adventures however, no graphics.
