Hey Becky - many thanks for the heads up - it completely passed me by.
Have amended the clue. And here is another.

Look for the Cave of Death

I thought the last one would do it. Heres another.

Detective Chuck is on the case.

Last name McBlade - and I think he has a backpack

Hi flotsam -- I finally cheated and googled the clues. I've never even heard of this game.

Backpacker? Yes, it's obscure.

It is in Peter's PAGODA ....... and Quandary wrote a Review .....

Here's the Quandaryland review for anyone who's curious about the game. Backpacker is an odd sort of title -- I guess they were going after the wilderness-hiking-adventure-game-with-a-bit-of-action-playing niche audience. You know, the rugged, no-nonsense, athletic and brainy crowd.

None of that type here then eh Becky?
I didn't realise it was that unknown. But now no one will forget!
Over to you Becky.

I guess we aren't rugged enough.

The clue: This unusual prison looks familiar. Haven't I been here in a couple of other games?

I have no idea! - but back to the first page!

Can we have another clue please Becky?

How can I communicate with these strange creatures? Maybe I should have taken drawing lessons in my formative years.

Is it Myst 5?

You got it, LadyK! Over to you.

Thanks, Becky!

Ding, dong, dell!
Look who's in the well!
Come fast, dear,
'Cause he'll disappear.

AGON: The Mysterious Codex?

No, it's not Agon, Becky.

Bing, bong, bean!
I thought these guys were green.
This one's red
With tassels on his head.

I'm clueless here, Lady K! Though I am wondering if the game has leprechauns.

It has little people but not leprechauns, Becky.

Sing, song, saggin'!
Don't annoy the dragon!
If you do,
You'll get a scorch or two.

Is it Bone: Out from Boneville?

That's the one, Rushes. I just love that dragon.

Thanks LadyK!

"It's coming for youuuu.." Oh no!

Hi

Delaware St. John - The Curse of Midnight Manor ??

Cheers.

Mad

You got it, Mad. Your turn.

Hi Rushes

Thanks !!

OK then ....

In this game we can go visit McGinty's Bar

EDIT : CLUE 2

No one up for McGinty's Bar ??
Well how about the Sunnyvale Rest Home then ??

Cheers.

Mad

I think it's Black Dahlia, Mad.

Hi

Cheers.
