Looking for another game...

Why can't I remember the names of the games I used to own? I mean, it was only 20 years ago. Any how, this game was a sort of arcade/adventure mix that involved the use of command words and you controlled a group of 6 heroes (who all had the obligatory diversity of skills and talents). Really, I wouldn't care but I never managed to complete it.

    It sounds like Shadowfire to me as well. But he said that words are used to control the characters so it could be Rebelstar or Lords Of Midnight.

    Necros.

    Is saying Stonkers getting a bit boring now? :p
    Oh, no. Every time you turn up something monumental and terrible happens.

    Maybe it's the bottom of the bottle talking here ... but doesn't that mean that if we were to talk about Stonkers (knowingly) and somebody would mention that the game in question (i.e. Stonkers) "sounds a lot like Stonkers" then that make the subject boring?

    Hmmm ...

    Think I'll put me feet up and hope for a few hours of Zzz's.

    Not at all. Saying Stonkers was getting a bit boring a couple of years ago.

    No, you're wrong. You've obviously been looking for the wrong game...
