I had a vague memory come to me about a game I once played maybe 15+ years ago, or the demo of one anyway. I can't remember what was the name of it...perhaps if I describe it, someone here will know?
~~ I'm pretty sure it was at least available on Mac, because I think that's what we had at the time. I remember that it was first person view, and I would guess it was some kind of RPG, roguelike, dungeon crawler. It was also the kind of game where you took steps, so there wasn't quire the sort of fluid movement like games have today. Also, I think it was a "2" of something...maybe.
I never played the whole game, but in the demo, you started as a generic adventurer in an underground cavern area. If you explored here, there were probably a dozen cryo-chamber like things with other adventurers inside. You could choose to open three of them, and these adventurers would join you.
When you climbed out of the caves, you were in a castle like-area. I don't remember much about this part -- a few puzzles or something maybe, and a room with a table where you could later resurrect fallen heroes by bringing their bones back to the table. I do remember that you could find your way out to a huge garden-like area that was crawling with slime creatures. There were a few shops, which consisted of a large "bubble" where you chose what item you wanted. Immediately to the right of the bubble was a table, and a gnome-like creature behind it. You could toss your coins on the table to buy the item you'd picked. You could attack the creature, and his guard would come out and beat the ever-lovin-crap out of you! You could also go to a table to the immediate left to trade items in for more coins.
Lastly, I remember there being a castle area that you could get to from the garden, though you seemed to warp there so I wondered if the demo skipped some stuff in between. I don't know what else there was because the room to the exit had a moving pit-thing, and down the pit were ghosts that always killed me. I don't know for sure if ever figured out how to dodge the pit, or kill the ghosts, although I have a vague memory of getting through that room once and it was the end of the demo.

So, does anyone know what it is? Part of the music just kinda popped into my head and I suddenly remembered all of this stuff, but I don't remember what it was called or where we even got the demo. I wonder if I'd care to look into playing the whole game, however old it may be.
