High quality in the b-genre of Assassinās Creed-likes. Strong combat, mediocre traversal, divisive world design, mediocre narrative.

I have asked this in one place or another every 3-5 years for the last 20 years, but Iām trying to locate an old DOS game. It was a Zelda I clone that looked very much like Zelda I, but the hero was in red. I think I had a demo, and it may have never gotten a release beyond that demo, but I can find no trace of this thingās existence. I probably played it between 1996 and 1998. Any thoughts?

Itās a good guess because itās the most Zelda-like DOS game I can think of, but it wasnāt. The one Iām trying to remember was much more Zelda-y. Flatter colors. Less lush setting.

I donāt think either of these are the one Iām thinking of (Zangrila is definitely too talky and wacky-looking), though they are closer than anything Iāve been able to dig up on my own over the past years of searching. And am glad to know about them! Obscure Zeldalikes are fascinating to me.

I repeated your question to a profane god who has read every Mobygames page ever written
I googled them and none of them seem particularly close (especially not Solar Winds). But they do all exist

I feel like everyone has at least one āwhat was this game I played in my childhood?ā white whale they are eternally stuck looking for the name of. Thereās one game I played in grade school when it was too rainy for recess that at least one screen was like an adventure-game island coast that I will never find and Iāve finally made peace with that fact.

Could that have been Jara Tava? We had that on our school PCs as well

One time in ~5th grade I looked over a 4th gradersā shoulder in the computer lab and saw some screenshots of a starcraft total conversion with star wars ships, and I asked them what it was. They immediately closed the window and then stared at me in total silence. It was one of the first times I felt the killing urge bubble up in the back of my throat. Never found the mod after that.

I played a game for either Apple][, C64, or some more exotic micro in the 90ās. It was some kind of vaguely edutainment oriented thing - I remember there being multiple screens you could navigate between. Itās not Reader Rabbit, itās not Mixed-Up Mother Goose, and Iāve spent years looking. I remember there being a treehouse on one screen and a bridge on another. I think there were crops on one screen as well. I thought you played as a rabbit or something but itās all so vague now.

Probably not quite Below The Root but itās definitely in the category of games that people try to remember decades later:
