Forums - PC Discussion - Help me remember this game!

Hello, friends :)

I was reading the roundtable IGN posted today with developers who have been influential in the Adventure genre, and their first experiences with these games.

It made me think of this one really awesome point-and-click I played in the '90s whose name I can't for the life of me remember.  Maybe you fine people can help me out?

Here's what I recall:

- Your character is kidnapped by aliens/some kind of monsters.  In the opening cutscene, they show him that they have his hamster cage for some reason (I distinctly remember him saying "What's my hamster cage doing here?")

- They then shrink him and place him inside, where you have to solve a bunch of puzzles and avoid the evil hamsters.

- In one of the puzzles, there was a door that would only open when you ran for long enough on a hamster's exercise wheel, and you'd have to be fast because it closed quickly.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks :D



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

I've searched quite a bit, could it be this one?

Since the op permits it, i need help remembering a game too. It was for de Nes and what i remember was a kid whoose spaceship crashed and landed on earth. He had a poumpadour, and the first stage a think was in the water where you jumped from bubbles to ascend to high places.

Holy hell, that's the one!  I looked up a Let's Play and found the exact scene I was remembering in the OP.

What's funny is I don't even think I knew the name when I played it 20 years ago lol.

Unless it's available via digital distribution (doubtful), I need to find a ROMA ASAP haha.

Thanks so much, good sir--you rock!
