It's written in Finnish, it takes place in iron age Finland of some sort, there's hillforts n shit. I think the world was called Suomaa (I also thought that would be the name of the game but it brings nothing up on jewgle). The combat was at least graphically similar to what you have in Quest for Glory. Outside combat camera was top-down. I don't remember the plot so well, except you probably flied a giant eagle to get between locations, and at some point you dived to pick something up from the bottom of Inarinjärvi (lake). also there was some sandnigger tourist iirc who asked where are the biggest dunes in Finland (they're in Kalajoki ofc). You also fight said arab at some point. Wolves were the most common enemy IIRC.

It was quite probably on some MB huvi&hyötyromppu. Couldn't find it on Jonneweb.

Anyone of the resident Finns know/remember this game? Vaarna_Aarne Kingston Hobo Elf Turisas GarfunkeL Haba Somberlain nomask7 Linden circ

Doesn't sound familiar to me, sorry. I'll keep this thread in mind in case someone or you remembers what the game is called since I'm intrigued now as well.

I still remember when I was a little kid and tried to install a game called something like Haudanryöstäjä Suomesta from a MikroBitti H&H disc and it ended up fucking up the whole computer. It's the only time ever me or my parents had to take a computer to a specialist store to get it fixed.

Educational legend? o.o

Also, thanks for the links, that might help me with learning, actually :)
I recommend the Hurvana games especially. Hurvana 2 is probably the best of them, 1 is too simple and 3 is too grindy. Also Areena 4/5, but those don't have as much text in them.



Gonna check thru some Huvi&Hyötyromppus now. Let's see if this game really exists or if I'm just hallucinating...
