Need help to anyone who may have some suggestions. I was born in 1990. My dad had an old PC game, I think it was still on a floppy disk that I played when he was station in Japan. This would have been between 1993 and 1998. He wasn't much of a gamer so I doubt it was very new and since I was so young I barely remember anything about it and he doesn't remember much either. This is probably a long shot but I wanted to give this a try. The only thing he remembers is there was a crazy guy laughing almost as a hillbilly character would laugh and if I remember right he was either a red or brown shirt and a weathered hat, sitting in some chair I think. and maybe a spittoon near him? I've been trying my best to find games like this but since I haven't found that scene I can't be sure. Like the Myst series looks close to what the art was except I'm not sure if the characters we actual models of real people. I think the characters we animated. Again I'm not positive about that but I'm sure the graphics we just like the Myst series. The closest thing I've found was Riven, Sequal to Myst. A lot of that gameplay was feeling familiar but again I haven't found that exact seen and so I can't be sure. Anyway, if anyone out there has any screenshots or any idea of what I'm talking about, I can't tell you how thankful I would be and I could bring it up to my dad and maybe give him a chance to play it over again. He's asked me about it a few times if I remember playing this game with him and it would definitely mean a lot. Thank you in advance

Parts of what you say remind me of Return to Zork which is available here on GOG. It is kinda Myst-like, as opposed to Doom-like, since you move around and point in different directions to see things. It came out in 1993 so it would be eligible per your requirements.

There is an old "hillbilly" character you will meet that is slightly animated, and he would say "Want some rye? Course ya' do!" and might chuckle or laugh a little as he talks. He might be the character you're thinking of. Take a look at this video clip...


Return to Zork

Broken Sword 2 maybe.

I think tritone's got it. I'd be surprised if it wasn't Return to Zork.
It was the first thing that came to mind.

Thank you i was surprised to get as many replies as i did im going to show this clip to my dad that "you want some rye?" was so familiar and im hoping this was the one yes, it was so weird hearing that "you want some rye" phrase as soon I as heard it I felt something familiar about it. I'm going to show my dad and see if that was it thank you for your reply! Thank you!! This definitely brought some form of nostalgia I'm going to show this clip to my dad to see if this is what we've been looking for thank you for your reply!! I was surprised to get as many as I did Thank you I'm hoping you are all right. this definitely felt familiar and I'm going to show the clip to my dad and see if that rings any bells but in the meantime, I will take up your suggestion and take this up with Reddit to see if I can get more answers. Thanks again! Thank you! I'm hoping this is it! ive checked gameplay of broken sword 2 and i believe its a bit too animated for what i remember but thank you so much anyway!

Thank you!!! I've just confirmed with my dad that this is in fact the game!!! I'm so excited and thankful to all of you for helping me find this :)
