i was young some i don't remember much details.

i played the game on a 91 packard bell so it has to be older than that.

it is a RPG.

I believe the game starts with the main character(man) waking up in the locked hull of a big ship.  he then has to figure out clever ways to get out by combining items found on the ship.    

i also remember a tunnel leading to a big house with more steps to get through different stages of the house.  i believe he ends up back on the topside of the boat in the end.   might even be a female character found along the way.

at some point in the game you make  battery  to get through a door, i could be wrong.  i remember having to combine lots of items to make 1 single item.  i like games like that and wouldn't mind finding more like it.

  i know i very vague but i was young.

thank you so much in advance.

Was it a text based adventure?

Riven?

That came out in '97, I can't believe a Packard Bell would still be working 6 years later

I was thinking maybe Alone in the Dark 2?

it was neither of those 2 games, thank you though.

also it did have lots of text to read when you found items and what not.  you had an inventory list as well.

i saw a game called amnesia, the plot sound very similar but it is not that game.



also worth noting there is absolutely no fighting in this game.  hardly any characters from what i recall

Was it purely text or did it have some graphics?
IE: Like the Sierra games tended to be graphical, but also text and inventory and little to no fighting.
