Overview
Description

Koala Lumpur: Journey to the Edge is a tongue‑in‑cheek point‑and‑click adventure where you guide Zen Master Koala and his sidekick Dr. Dingo through four bizarre stages to reassemble a lost prophetic scroll and stop an apocalypse. The game blends quirky humor, surreal visuals, and clever puzzles, all wrapped in a retro 1997 aesthetic. The koala stores every collected item in his bottomless fez while the mouse cursor becomes a fly you must guide into Dr. Dingo’s brain at key moments, delivering a uniquely playful interaction style that keeps the laughs coming until the very last screen.

The Bizarre Adventures of Woodruff and the Schnibble is a 1994 graphical adventure game developed by Coktel Vision and created by Pierre Gilhodes. Players control Woodruff, a mutated hero who must navigate a strange, vertically layered city to save his adopted father and uncover the secret of the Schnibble. Featuring hand-drawn graphics reminiscent of the Gobliiins series, the game combines offbeat humor, surreal logic, and challenging inventory-based puzzles. Distributed in North America by Sierra Entertainment, it offers a distinctively quirky experience filled with bizarre characters and imaginative environments.
