I remember when I first started playing computer games, there was this wonderful game, where part of, or all of it, was based in Tibet. The graphics, sound, everything were fantastic. I'm estimating around 1999 or 2000. Does anyone remember this game? If it were playable on Windows7, I'd love it.

Thanks for any help.

Road to India?

Ana

No. The game showed a lot of snow, gongs, I believe, even a spring scene with flowers and birds. I really wish I could remember the theme. It was a wonderful game. Thanks, though.

First or third person?

How about Lotus Spring

Sounds like Journeyman Project 3 to me. I'm pretty sure it's available on gog.com, and will work on Windows 7 too.

GreyFuss: I believe it was first person. Gremlin: At first, I thought you had it, but looked at screen shots and *sigh* no. I believe it involved a monastery, you had to solve a gong puzzle, fight blizzards. Wish I could remember more about it.

Lost Horizon? It was set in World War 2 and involved German soldiers and a Tibetan monastery.

Atlantis 2 could fit your description and the year.

Chief

Once again, I thought Bristol had it, but "sob" no. Chief, also not Atlantis 2. I wish I could give a prize to someone who gets this. (maybe I can!).

I have vague memories of a young monk being taught by a very old man in a ship on land. He had to touch certain spots on a mandala? and be transported to different places or times? Any bells anyone? I remember it started with the young monk making his way through a terrific snowstorm to the monastery.

Sounds a little like Atlantis II, which had a Tibet area at the beginning of the game (and possibly at the end).

Schizm: Mysterious Journey had a monastery and ***prayer wheels***, but it wasn't Tibet.

Reah had a gong puzzle, but not much snow

Sentinel had a lot of snow in the Sanselard area, but it wasn't Tibet.

Aura had a gong puzzle -- and snowy areas, again not Tibet

Yes that sounds a lot like Atlantis II (Beyond Atlantis).

Once again, I thought Bristol had it, but "sob" no. Chief, also not Atlantis 2. I wish I could give a prize to someone who gets this. (maybe I can!). Jenny100. Not any of those. I really appreciate everyone's help.

Just remembered a scene, I think, where a man is stranded in the snow, and you have you help save him? I can see these things in my head, but just can't get it. (good grief!)

It sure sounds like Beyond Atlantis (Atlantis II). It opens with the young monk trudging through the snow to a ship where the old monk is waiting. There is a mandala on the wall which takes the young monk to different worlds : China, Ireland, and the Mayan world. The game ends in Shambala, which is very spring-like and pretty. This was one of my favorite games.

Was that when you played it or when the game was published? If it's when the game was published, you might check the Pagoda database by year to see what was published in 1999 or 2000. If it was when you played the game, you might check earlier years too.

Can you remember anything else about the game? Were there live actors in the game or were the characters computer-rendered? If it was 1st person, was there panning? Was it a fantasy type game or a more "realistic" game? Was it edutainment? (maybe something like Vikings or Physicus) Was it heavy on puzzles? Were there a lot of conversations and character interaction in it or was it mostly a solitary game?

A couple of other games I liked from around 1999 are Timelapse and Morpheus, but I don't remember if I rescued anyone stuck in the snow in those.

I think it could be Riddle of master Lu.

I wish I could help you out, Laurette - I'm still thinking about it.

Oh, please someone, remember this game for Laurette.
It sounds just the sort of game I would love to play. I so enjoyed Atlantis 2 but Laurette seems pretty sure this wasn't the game.

Thanks everyone. Jenny100: What I'm remembering is I thought it was strictly 1st person; the puzzles were, like oriental music bells where you had to play them in the right order. You had to figure out how to lower a bridge to proceed to the other side. It did involve a monastery (as I mentioned). And, I believe I played it in 1999 or 2000, but it may have been made earlier. The graphics and sound were way ahead of their time. I'll look on the website you mentioned. Thank you.

After visiting the website, I had thought Journeyman Project: Legacy of Time was it. However, after looking at the pictures I don't remember it as being science fictiony (is that a word). I then thought it was "Beyond Time," but am still looking for the snow scene. I believe it did involve different locations, but am not sure. I'm almost sorry I brought this up!

So far everything you have described is from the HIMALAYAN MOUNTAIN portion of Legacy of Time as others have suggested. From the snow, first person, time of release, sound bells, dropping a bridge, monastery.. everything. I still have the GOG version on my computer if you would like for me to get a certain screenshot

Greyfuss: I believe you got it! I was looking for the snow scenes (for some reason I remember that a lot, even though I don't like snow!)

Thank you and everybody who tried to help.

The GOG version is playable on Windows 7 and is only $5.99 at the moment.

It doesn't seem to be very "science fictiony" while you're playing because for most of the game you're in historical environments.

Thanks, Jenny100!

I'm glad that our members helped remember the game for you, Laurette!

This made for interesting reading for me even though I don't know any of these games. I just bought The Journeyman Project 2 and 3 as a package deal from GOG. Looking forward to exploring a new world.
