Hi. I remember an old adventure game I played when I was a kid. It had a similar sense of humour as King's Quest and Space Quest. I didn't make it very far but what I do remember is that you had a gem which would heal you. Early in the game you were in a forest with gems scattered around and a tree full of what looked like rubies and a snake that would randomly bite you. I remember having to put the gems in a basin and they would burn up and reappear randomly around the forest. Can any body tell me what this game was?

YES!! That's it. Thank you so much for that it's been driving me nuts!
