That feeling you were describing at the start is one I know all too well. Recently I was trying to recall an old JRPG for the PS1 I remembered renting only once long ago but could not remember the name of. All I could remember was that it had -Legend- in the name and it involved a unique battle system involving inputting button combos that almost felt sorta fighting game like. At first I confused it for Legend of Dragoon simply because that was one of the only non-Final Fantasy JRPGs for the PS1 I could remember (but don't own, but upon looking up footage I realized I was way off (Dragoon's battle system is more akin to Final Fantasy.
Only after looking up a list of every PS1 game ever released did I suddenly remember the name: Legend of Legaia. After seeing that boxart again online did the connection suddenly become almost whole, and after looking up footage I went -THERE WE GO! Oh wow why did it take me so long to remember this game's name? -

When the earlier brother dies it creates a pile of bones which the next brother can track down and pick up which contains all the inventory the earlier brother had.
I have this game on Amiga and it's in my opinion one of the best games in the genre ever created, mostly due, of course to it being among the first. in the genre. And boring! Are you crazy! There's always something to do, there's always things to find. You can travel on water by turtle, you can travel in air on a golden goose. There are mountains, lakes, thick forests, swamps, deserts, snowy plains, islands, castles, dungeons, dragons, kings and princesses. This game is absolutely phenomenal.

Like you, this was one of the first PC games I played in 1990 on a 386 with my dad. Spent quite a bit of time on it until we upgraded to a Pentium 120mhz and the game ran so fast you died of starvation within a second of starting. My hazy memory of it was definitely flattering.
You forgot to mention that since Julian was the best fighter of the three, and the game was 99% combat, the game was basically over when he died. Kevin was as lame as he sounds, unable to kill any enemies and with no friendly NPCs to make his kindness stat useful.
Still feel like trying it out again though.

I used to play that game very intense on the good ol' Amiga 500 and i loved it! The graphics were a bit better than on PC and i loved the music. Yes, the world was huge, indeed, but i was too curious exploring every corner. There were two things i really hated: wandering in the forests (because they slowed you down and those damn wraiths got me almost every time and the steering when the character starved. And a tip: to quickly get stronger, travel to the graveyard southeast and fight enemies with the fence between you and the monsters. As long there are no wraiths. ;)

The thing you describe at the beginning perfectly describes a memory I have with one of these -play computers- - A sort of Notebook/laptop thing in orange and blue with several games of which I remember almost none. It was monochrome black n white and generally way behind its time but I remember it fondly.
Then there is this HUGE game collection. There was a Battleship game for the Gameboy on there which had cool animations so it caught my interest. I also got to play solomon's key which I only found out about 1 year ago because of a video. Has such awesome music!

My hazy memory is of a game which I actually haven't played, but my dad. It was a dungeon crawler on a floppy disc, I specifically remember telling him to give his character two swords instead of a sword and shield. He died seconds later. I felt so bad I told him to do that so thats why I recall that so good I guess, I was around. 5 or 6 years old maybe? But I still remember the visuals so cleary, it's been bothering me for a while now that I STILL don't know the name of the game. I also remember it being on a 3 and a half inch disc. Just thought I'd throw that out here: )

yes, i cant remember the name of my nostalgia game. It was on windows 95 or 98 maybe and there was a castle (not dark castle i had that on an old apple and can tell the difference) that you went from room to room the graphics were nicely drawn and life like when it came to the characters. I can remember talking to a women and there were puzzles and stuff and thats all i can remember. I have looked for this game along time and to no avail, now watching this has spurred my quest, so could anybody help me find this game!

My -hazy memory game- was some sort of fps in which the main character kept having these weird hallucinations of a black cat that would disappear once he got close to it. There was this part in the game, can't remember if it was at the beginning or when was it, where you have to go some place or something, return to a bed, where some people would then enter the room and do some stuff, I don't know. Also, chocolate, soda and burgers were some healing items you'd find the most of.

To be fair. The genesis Port is alot better, and this game is boring as you said, however if you farm at the grave yard for like 1 hour you basically cant die and finishing the game can be fun. that's my only advice. . Also, if you want to get the turtle early just follow the south road all the way to the watch tower, use a grey key on the door and there is a sea shell inside, which lets you summon the turtle early. takes 20 minutes to get from starting fresh.

i remember i had a catalog with some games (it was in a game box around 1990 maybe from populous. There was a game which screenshots looked kinda whitish and fairy tale like, it looked as if it was made for children, the graphics were hand drawn and it looked like an adventure game. On the screenshot there was a wizard on a field or a farm, i always imagined that you play the wizard. I always wanted this game but i never got it and forgot the name.
