Let's see if Fedi is smarter than LLMs:

When we got our first PC a friend installed a bunch of games (Win95).

One of these was a 3D adventure game (maybe 3rd person view?). It was a miracle it ran on that HW and was very low poly. I didn't know English at the time so I have no clue what the game was about.

I remember that could walk around in a village and NPCs occasionally talked to you. Then giant green worms appeared and that's when I usually died :D or the game just went on because the worms weren't very targeted/hostile?

I'd appreciate any guesses on this! I'm not a huge gamer but want to know what that game was about.

@buherator 3D graphics. Giant green worms. For people who have played that game, that might be enough to work with. 😅

Do you know what year that was? 3D adventures just started becoming a thing in the Win95 years, so knowing and end date might be narrowing it down a lot.

@buherator what was the setting? fantasy? scifi? were there guns?

@buherator following this because I am curious. This doesn’t ring a bell for me…

@buherator more info please, was it a 3d POV a la Heretic? Did it have a cinematic intro with music?

@buherator First possible idea by a friend of mine:
"Ecstatica"?

Also, Little Big Adventure 2 had ONE of those here:

@buherator

Some things off the top of my head:
- Lands of Lore
- Elder Scrolls II
- Ravenloft

@buherator
Dying at the green worms reminds me of Another World.
But no, it's not 3D nor there are NPCs talking to you.

@rk @buherator Magic Carpet?
