Have you met Torin, Boogle and Leenah? A graphical fantasy adventure released in 1995, Torin's Passage was seen as quite a departure for Leisure Suit Larry designer Al Lowe. Perhaps gazing at some screenshots will rattle loose those memories -- at least the ones that don't involve the rather devious tape recorder puzzle at the end.

I can't believe I'm not the only person who remembers this game.
Heh, I remember it being jokingly billed as "The only Sierra adventure game without the word 'Quest' in the title." Or something like that anyway, since Leisure Suit Larry and (probably) Phantasmagoria had both come earlier.

Let's not forget "The Bizarre Adventures of Woodruff and the Schnibble"
