What game is this? (Torin's Passage)

[garyfoo182]

My mate has asked me to ask you guys if you can recognise this game. Here's the description

"A wee blonde guy with a purple dog that could turn into-things. At one point you fly through a vaccum with bagpipes and hang off grass at one point that says "grab me"!

Thanks dudes

Sounds to me like it's Torin's Passage.

[Grunaki]

Doramon maybe? Sounds weird and Japanese anyway... :/

[donkeykong1]

Does it also have pink elephants? ;)

[Austin]

Wow, no idea. But I'd like whatever he's smoking!

[anagrama]

Any idea what system it's for? Dunno why, but the description makes me think Amiga or some other home computer rather than a console game... :/

[slapdash]

I'm guessing it's either a Spectrum or C-64 game; like everyone else, I have NO idea...

Sleepwalker? (http://www.atari.st/view.php?id=1541)

The Dog's not purple (at least as far as I've played) and I haven't seen it turn into anything, but the guy is blonde... ;)

[Arqueologia_Digital]

Please, ask your friend for that strange herbs, i want to smoke them! LOL

I am pretty sure it is Torin's Passage. Check these screens out and see if they match.

Wow, it's an Al Lowe game, and requires a 75MHz machine else you get slowdown! Looks cool.

Was Torin's Passage any good? Is it Point & Clicky like KQ7?

[Ed Oscuro]

GameSpot liked it...

No word as to whether it's clicky or not that I can see, but I assume it is.

I played this years back, and it is very similar to the Black Cauldron, also programmed by Al Lowe. I don't remember if it was point and click or used hot keys, but you could view your items in 3D. Wow. 8-)

Good job Lovely Assistant - 1,000 meseta to you!

I have to admit, after reading the original post I had wondered if someone wasn't pulling our leg a bit. ;)

[Lovely Assistant]

I'm just happy that my love for the Sierra games is of some use. ^^ Tho now I wanna play Torin's Passage again.

Not too hard to get your hands on a fresh copy, either.

Wow...how strange. I just recently found a complete copy of this at my local bookman's and now a thread pops up about it.

I've never played it before, but I clearly remember when it came out and reading the box when I saw it at Computer City oh so long ago. It sounds like one hell of a trippy game from your description. Should be a fun one to try out ;D.
