OK, in the mid 90's when I was a kid I remember playing one computer game that I thought was incredibly fun, but for the love of anything ever held holy I cannot remember what it was called. Lately, its been bugging the crap out of me, and try as I might, since I actually remember very little about it, its been almost impossible to try to research. After months of fruitless searches, I figured I would try here.

Here is what I remember:

1) It was a third person adventure game, I believe marketed towards younger audiences, but I do not recall it attempting to be educational.

2) I seem to recall the main character (Male) being named Tim.

3) I think the game took place on or around a Mountain.

4) The one game mechanic I remember pretty clearly is that "Tim" had some sort of magic camera, which would reveal hidden elements of the scenery when used, such as items, passageways, etc.

Not much to go on, but that is all I can remember. I also don't recall what type of computer it was for. Please help me figure out what game this is so that I can complete my Want List.

Thanks

I'm very doubtful this is it... but the Playstation had a series of games that used a camera called Fatal Frame. One of them was centered around a mountain.

The game was set in a more Japanese survival horror setting though.

No, it wasn't the Fatal Frame series. Thanks for the reply though.

The game wasn't survival horror, it was straight up old school adventure/exploration.
Just so no one else submits it as a suggestion, the game is not TImothy either. Although I must admit, I was hopeful for a moment given I seem to remember the characters name being Tim. Upon checking it out, however, it is definitely not the same game.

Wild guess, but maybe Mountain King?

No mention of Tim, but you use a flashlight to search for things...

No, it was not that. The graphics were much better than that as well. Thanks for the help though.

These show up in my searches. No mention of a "Tim" or a camera...

This one from the same series seems to have a camera used to capture enemies:
