This is probably just a one-off, but we'll see. I need to know the name of this game, but I can only (mis)remember details about it.
In the mid-90s, I used to love Sierra demodiscs. I would literally play every title on the disc. By the CD era, this was quite a feat; you'd get free discs with what felt like hundreds but was probably dozens of demos, organized by developer. (Sierra was at this point at a massive publisher with numerous studios under its umbrella.)
One of these demos was an adventure game sent in ancient Greece. The demo was pretty fun, but I never did play the full version. I'm pretty sure it was low-quality FMV but still third-person in typical Sierra adventure game style. I don't remember anything about what you did in the game, except that there were gods and mythical creatures involved.
I thought the game was by Dynamix, but I've looked through the entirety of Dynamix's roster, followed by the entirety of Sierra's roster, followed by a Wikipedia list of adventure games released in the 1990s (1993-1997), and I couldn't find anything.
Additionally, if anybody knows how to get your hands on pirated versions of these demopacks on the Internet, that would be super. My favourite pack had everything from the Betrayal of Krondor demo to the Willy Beamish demo on it, including lots of cool stuff like noninteractive Quest for Glory cinematics featuring scenes that weren't in the final game.
Any clues?
