I've got one that will stump everyone. It's not a console game, it's a DOS dungeon crawler that was made with ascii character graphics. The best name I can recall for it was "Shrine" which may or may not have been its actual name but that's what all the older kids called it. We played it at a daycare center I went to around 2nd or 3rd grade, but all the older kids would never let us play on the computers. I only played it maybe once or twice but it seemed awesome.

It had about 20-40 levels or so. Your character was a diamont shaped character which had a whip. The whip consisted of rapidly changing '/' and '\' characters which would appear in the text slot next to you in which ever direction you were holding.

I don't remember much about the levels, but there was lava in some of them that was necessary to pass and it was very damaging.

I wish I could meet somebody from that time in my life to ask them about this but the owner of that daycare has since passed away and I have no idea where any of the people I knew there went off to. I went there about 15 years ago. any ideas?

Return to Kroz, I believe. It went under the alternate title "Shrine of Kroz".

Hrm.... I'm 99% sure that's it. The exact graphics look a little different than I had remembered but it's been years after all. I've been asking people about this for like 3 years and no one had been able to answer me, and you did it within hours of my post. Thanks 100 times over!

Now only to find out how to obtain it and play it...

There are 7 or so Kroz games, so if it doesn't look too familiar, you might've played one of the other games in the series (though I have no idea why someone would refer to any of the other games as "Shrine")

The Kroz games are considered abandonware, and can be downloaded at a number of sites. Shouldn't be hard to find one via google.
