Or Sanitarium (just a guess based on the asylum bit)

EDIT: Or Blackstone Chronicles (can you tell I'm just guessing any old game which has an asylum?)

I don't know what made you think it'd be so easy...

Anyway, hmmmm...

1. There is a character who attended a university in Tennessee
2. Another character misses his mother
3. Yet another character breaks a light

geez, I really don't know these games XD

As for Zork, I've only played Zork Grand Inquisitor to the end. I've played a little of Zork 1, but I haven't finished yet. I haven't played Zork Nemesis either. Someday, perhaps. But not yet...

That sounds like Maniac Mansion to me.

Nope.

I mean, OK, it could by sheer coincidence apply to Maniac Mansion (haven't played it), but it is not the game I have in mind.

With everyone's permission, I'm going to sticky this topic. Given the popularity, I think it's warranted. I mean, 9 pages... That should speak for itself!

I am honoured that a topic I started it worthy of stickiness   :D

Well, 9 pages worth of responses in this time frame? I think it means that this thread is popular. Unless my fellow mods disagree, I think this thread is worthy of stickiness.

Mmmmm, does anyone want me to drop more hints about the game, or do you want to continue to guess with only the original criteria?

Well, I could certainly use more hints, but I'm not exactly a top hitter ;) They seem to be quiet and/or stumped as well though.

Well, I've been stumped on all of these XD Then again, I suck at guessing games anyway.

Well, given that Cez guessed incorrectly, I think it's okay to drop more hints:

1. The first character also lost a mother
2. We find out how the second character feels about his mother when he talks to her (being dead, she doesn't talk back)
3. The third character breaks a light in the cemetery where the mothers of both the first and second characters were laid to rest.

Zork Nemesis!
Got it! And now it's your turn!

Wow in all seriousness this crossed my mind immediately but it's been so long since I played it that I couldn't remember enough of it to be comfortable with the response.  Dang.

Okay, if Mr. Wilco can't figure this out with the additional hints (unless he did figure out what the game is and just didn't say so), I think I should drop more hints...

1. Depending on the player's choices, the first and second characters (the ones whose mothers are dead) will try to save each other's lives...
2. ... or try to get each other slaughtered (and succeed).
3. The third character (the one who breaks the light in the cemetery) kills another character, though NOT the first or the second character.

I think somebody will probably figure out the game based on all of these hints, but if nobody makes a correct guess in the next 16 hours, I will drop more hints...

I'm super stumped here, I'll keep thinking.  This is a good one.
