Name the game - part 2

Well as i think a cross-post situ created the small confussion, and i think that as you are asking first then yes sure go ahead as long as you got it right - Jamski?
Asmodean can maybe go after you? or whenever ADG thinks is best, as he's this fine threads creator

[Jamski]

Well, it was only a short interruption, but I'm pleasantly surprised someone actually recognised the Faroe Island league teams.

Full marks for SWOS

Normal service will now resume

Not too hard for a Dane to do that

Asmodean

So who all still needs to throw out games for us to guess? I'm somewhat confused on how there are multiple people waiting to throw out clues but that's normal for me.

[Buck Birdseed]

Er, it's me and Asmodean. I think. Just 'cause there was some confusion on who was supposed to have made the last clue. Um. One at a time really.

Clue #1: The (excellent) conversation interface was copied pretty much straight off by Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers several years later.

[child of Thor]

ummmm......The Grim Fandango?

[Buck Birdseed]

I thought games after 1994 or thereabouts were outlawed.

I now see you're supposed to post the computer you played it on- it was the PC. Curiously for a game from its era, the PC version actually looks better than the Amiga version released simultaneously.

[Buck Birdseed]

Is it too tricky? I could give another clue I guess... But after this I'll leave it for a while.

Clue #2: Unusually for a game of its type the characters are made up of (2D) Polygons rather than sprites. This approach would be refined by the time the company released its next game, a pioneering Action Adventure cult classic. I think that latter game is overrated myself.

Keep going

Its not 'Captive' is it?
I'll admit i've never played the Gabriel Knight games so this will be my last guess in the dark.

Clue #3, a pictoral clue. You'll end up seing this in the game a lot:

Same here,

Based on your pictoral clue...............

Grandma's Crazy World of Patch Work Quilts!

That was a shareware game wasn't it?

[Buck Birdseed]

Clue #4: Although the story expicitly sets out to be of a certain very English type, the game is actually French.

ADG, you missed DrSpike's Theatre Europe.

Fix!

Clue #5, another picture. This is the game's vaguely iconic title screen (with name appropriately boxed out). A similar image was the box art of the original French version.
