What's the name of this early 90's computer game?

You might be either talking about the King’s Quest series, or perhaps Quest for Glory (originally named Hero’s Quest)?

Kings quest is the second game. There was another one that I can’t remember for the life of me, but it was in the same family of games. Might have even been made by the same people. Very similar, but it had more of a guild feel to it, stone cutters, tapestries, stars, etc.

@cssboy, was it one of the Ultima series by any chance?

Myst??

I’m not a huge gamer but I got caught up in Myst because I liked solving all the puzzles. I’m not sure what you mean by guilds, though, so it’s probably not the game you’re seeking.

There are quite a few kings quests with very different looks to all of them.

What style was the animation in the game??

i know, i know, hero’s quest! that game rocks!!! the first one was also titled “so you want to be a hero?”
this one right?: link
they later named it quest for glory as the article states

Yeah but it was not as good as Planescape: Torment GRIN

iwamoto – i mentioned Hero’s Quest above – it’s one of my favorite games ever! I also loved Conquest of Camelot.

aaah damn, im sorry, i only read kings quest, yeah, i love that game, the remake of part 1 is still my favorite…stealing the music box ;)

Are you thinking of Lucasarts game Loom?

I never played Loom but had a little demo version – I thought it was the coolest!
