Lost: one video game.
Reward: love, admiration, and serious know-it-all-gamer points.
Last seen: 1995, old-school Mac.
Description: platformy-y, vaguely colored, room to room, underground adventure sort of game, featuring a (definitely pixellated) little man in a hat, conveyor belts, rolling skulls, ladders, and coins.
Have you seen this game? I miss it so. Help bring it home!

“Midnight Mansion” looks a bit newer than 1995.
How about Montezuma’s Revenge?

You may be right. I went looking for Mac-specific games. That was my mistake…
…and the mistake of every Mac owner! BWA HA HA HA HA
Ahem.

theCurse, I love you! You’re totally right. Scott and I have been looking for this game for at least a year with no success. Let me bake you cupcakes. Be my new best friend.
