Hey guys.

Here's my issue. I've had this game stuck in my head for YEARS now, and I still can't figure out what it was. I'm 21 years old now, I was born in 1992. I played this game all the time on my dad's computer.

I don't remember a name to it, but my sister always nicknamed it "Quasimoto" and there's no game I could find with that name. The closest I've came across was Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure but that's not it. All I remember was there were 2 characters and it was night time, and the ground was blue. And if I'm right, if you click on the one character (I think he was yellow color), something funny would happen to him.

Maybe some of you can help me with this too. My dad had something on his computer. When it launched, it looked like a Tic-Tac-Toe pattern, and there were 3 choices in each row. Some were games, one went to the Windows desktop. I know one of the games was the one I mentioned above, another was Doom (personal favorite), and I can't remember the rest.

I hope somebody can find something. Thank You.

Perhaps your sister was saying 'Quasimodo', so maybe it's a hunchback game?

Two-player game in DOS or Windows? Windows3.x or Win9x?

Single-player game I believe. And it wasn't a hunchback game. I think it was DOS, but I'm not 100%, same with the Windows part.

Hmm. I'd like to say 'ToeJam & Earl' but those did not come out on DOS, what I can see.
(The windows releases are really re-releases from 2012)

2 characters, nighttime in many screenshots, but on a Sega system.

I appreciate you trying, but unfortunately that's not it.

Dear HeYYiTzPaT,

"Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure": Thal looks futuristic. Was this game a futuristic game? Was it a jump and run game (like commander keen)? Do you play both caracters as singleplayer?

If you can remember more details, it would help to identify the game.

Riffin' off of Quasimodo and platformer-ish, here are a few wild guesses. Most are parts of series, so if they happen to be close but not quite right, maybe try the sequels, too. But the 2 characters is stumping me; I've mostly got 1 and 3 in the list...

As always, if you can say "that looks closer because _xyz_" and "that looks totally wrong", that's helpful for narrowing in on ideas!
