Guess one should pick one's sources better when trying to "do a Captvk".

I'm going to put up the white flag till I get more hints. Or, there is the stark possibility I've never actually played the game (I'm a young and tender 21 after all)Comment

Games i played on the C-64 are pretty limited as i had a TI- 99 back in the mid 80's - a couple of my friends had C64s though. for some reason clue #6 makes me want to guess "Narnia" (maybe its from reading the Chronicles of Narnia and am thinking of the Voyage of the Dawn Treader)Insert witty phrase hereComment

...and I didn't have a computer, before 1985... and back then, I was pretty young... so what I remember is also pretty limited...
This space is empty... or is it?Comment

It's Seven Cities of Gold. Developed by Dan Bunten (later Dani Bunten Berry), one of the pioneers of multiplayer gaming.
Seven Cities of Gold was a solid commercial triumph. It brought together real-time action, strategy and exploration in a historical adventure with a genuine smudge of educational value. In fact, the much-despised term “edutainment” was originally coined to describe this game. With sales of 150,000 copies across several platforms and numerous design awards, Seven Cities catapulted Ozark into the ranks of the elite developers; and nobody complained about the fact that it was designed for only a single player."We are living in the future, I'll tell you how I know, I read it in the paper, Fifteen years ago" - John PrineComment

I'm surprised by that. This was a fairly big game for the C-64. EA put out a DOS port in the early 90s that's floating around at some of the more obvious sites where old games are available.Originally posted by DrSpike
