Help me find this very old computer game from a Windows game collection...

[Ħ]

There was a very old Windows game collection disc (I think for Windows 3.1) that had about 100 games on it. Some classics, like Asteroids. One game called Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road?. I was able to find one of the obscure games called Six Feet Under published by EnQue Software. Fortunately it's still available in certain places. Here's a youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZaJkwVKjHc

But there was another game I would play all the time on the disc called "Venture". It's a first-person, point-and-click game where you navigate through various rooms. In each room you "pivot" the room to face the four different compass directions and their diagonals.


There were two modes. One was where you had to take over an alien spaceship or something. The second mode had you stuck in this underground labyrinth collecting treasure. You drop the treasure back in the main room to get points. You have to collect items too to solve puzzles and fight bad guys.


WHERE IS THIS GAME?


I honestly have no idea where to look anymore, so I'm just shouting out to see if this is familiar to anyone.

here are a couple of text files that seem to have the contents of game discs.  each entry has a file name and a brief game description.  Maybe this will help you.  Warning, the second file is very long.  I found Asteroids and WDTCCTR in each list.

I was hoping this was going to be about Gizmos and Gadgets.

  I think I had a shareware version of Venture a long time ago.

Couldn't find it on that list, Big Hath.

ha, I just realized you already know what the game is.  You're looking to play it.

Honestly, I have an old childhood friend that might have it, but I'll have to rekindle a relationship with him, etc., which will take a good amount of work before I get that game in my hands.
