I really need to play that game at some point. Most games by Cyberlore were quite good, but that is one that I never had the chance to play.

Anyway: If you can find where I got this image from, feel free to just post the next image without my confirmation, I'll be out making Stockholm unsafe.

quickly goes through the list of 1C games to find something oriental looking

No luck?

the closest I got was Korea: Forgotten Conflict and Men of War: Vietnam Special Edition - somehow I doubt either of them is the correct one... Darn it, 1C must have some more games somewhere

You are right, neither one of those are correct.


A hint might be in order for my game:
This game was the first (and only part?) of a series of games that were marketed towards women. They were supposed to contain things that "women like", like "health, wellness, nutrition, Feng Shui, aromatheropy" and so on. Thus doing more to stereotype women than most male-oriented games.

Still nothing? Here is a screenshot of something that might hint at what game it is in more ways than one.

If I'm correct, that is a lotus plant. The only game I can recall with any connection is the lotus racing game. Which is probably as much away from a women game as it can be ...

It is not a racing game, I can tell you that much.

let's solve... The Legend of Lotus Spring. Little nice "Womans"-Adventure. Was a little present for my sister long ago...

Next one is easy i hope.

Correct. It was actually not half bad for men either. I just reacted negatively to how they portrayed women as rather shallow and one dimensional when they explained why their series of games would appeal to women.

Riddle of Master Lu?

yes, sure.

Cool, I was pretty much guessing because of the "archeologist" style getup :)

Try this one on for size:

Metal Dead?? I recall that game having huge-eyed characters, but I'm not sure, just guessing.

Seeing that kalirion puts a short review of Metal Dead on Desura, I am guessing you are correct, Austrobogulator :-)
