    I remember I used to play this computer game at school in the 90s. I can remember everything about the game apart from the name.

    It was a detective game where you would travel around the world and ask people questions about a suspect. They would tell you details and you would piece together a picture of him. I remember if the suspect was skinny and tall people would say "that he/she could hide behind a pole".

    Can anyone remember the name of this game?

    Could it be Where In The World Is The Confusingly Sexy Carmen Sandiego?

    Or, you know, something close to that.

    I have another one. (Sorry if hijack but i think we need a generic thread like this it pops up so often)

    It was only a demo i played so bare with me.

    The game was an isometric RPG i think. You were a vampire and in a forest going around killing creatures.

    The game would have been out around 1997-2000. Has been wrecking my head ever since i played it way back when and never saw it again.

    P.S. Its not any form of Diablo/Baldurs Gate

    Second one sounds like Legacy of Kain, but that's too obvious.

    I'd be inclined to go with Blood Omen, even if it's not isometric.

    The only other possibility is Vampire: The Masquerade – Redemption which is even further away from isometric.

    Doh, meant to say Blood Omen myself. Keep forgetting they released a Soul Reaver: Legacy of Kain as well and a Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain.

    I've googled it and from the images it doesn't look like what i can remember.

    I remember playing in a bit which was forested and really dark.

    The only similarity i can remember is the ability to change 'forms'....i think. I can remember bats and thats abit it :P

    The disc came with a magazine (was a friends) and when i tried to install on my pc (a whopping 68mb back then) i didn't have space :(
