I hope you are all ready for this. It is something I have been wondering and searching for, for a long, long time now.
I will describe everything I can, however I guarantee the chances of this game being found are possibly less that the lottery!
I remember playing this on my Windows 95 PC (which means this was around that time period Windows 95 was all the rage). I am SURE it was on a CD that came with the computer, but then again I could have downloaded it.....I just know that it was free.
I remember it being a slight joke, and by a company that was not an established one, and to be honest could have been made by some friends in someones home somewhere. I remember they had a website and they had screen shots of the second edition 'coming soon', and the joke was that it had new improved graphics that were basically just more advanced colours from outside of Microsoft paint. Annyyyyyywayyyyyy.
It was a 2D game, like a strategy, in a window on the screen (it did not go full screen!). Parts looked like it was made in Microsoft paint. You would drag and drop a small knight on the screen and hope to solve the puzzle (it could be find a key in a bush, push a stone to connect a bridge (or click it and drag it rather) - keys seemed to be a consistent theme in each level). None of it was live strategy, it really was drag and drop. I am sure it was called something like 'Barry the Knight'. But each level was poorly drawn, and I have tried to attach an example of what the knight looked liked because it really was drawn so crudely. I remember the knight being about 1cm tall on the screen. I made the knight my avatar! Please look in case it sparks any ideas.
I would actually reward someone with a gift if they found this game, it would solve a 20 odd year old mystery!!!!
