Pandemonium
(Crystal Dynamics, 1997)
This PC port from a Playstation game involved two
young friends in a fantasy land : the court jester Fargus, and
Nikki, an Enchantress-in-training. Nikki is making spells from
an old spell book (stolen, of course) to impress Fargus, when
she casts a spell she shouldn't have; a monster appears, and
gobbles up the whole neighboring city, right before their eyes!
They must correct this mistake by following a dangerous route
to a magical realm, to obtain the power that will defeat this
monster. Although 3D, the game was (oddly enough) 2D in
movement; you could only go forward, backward, up, or down (you
couldn't turn off the path, nor choose an alternate route). While
this limited the options you can make in the game, the obstacles
on this "path" were amusing, as was the game itself.
However, the game's PC version was only 3D accelerated on 3Dfx
cards, and, just a few years later, is already incompatible with
most modern PC setups. Therefore, I can only recommend this game's
original Playstation version, which has no such compatibility
issues. Either way, it's only a -small- recommendation...
