Alright, if ever there was a vague description of a game, it's likely to be this one. I have a track record of accidentally skewering things I remember as a kid.
My brothers and I shared an "old" (mid-90's) desktop - I believe it was a Macintosh - and we played a number of different games on it, both bundled with the O.S. and downloaded off of those C.D.'s that had multiple games on them. One of them was a top-down adventure-type where you played as a kid, and you got what I've always assumed has been a "bubble gum gun," for lack of a better term. It was undoubtedly a kid's game, and I never got far into it because a witch showed up in perhaps the third level or so and my mother didn't want me playing that far. But even with a witch, it was a game too simple and colorful to be anything more than for children. And I use the term bubble gum gun because it shot out pink balls. I remember acquiring other weapons too, but only my brothers got far enough to get them.
I'm throwing this here because my brothers can't seem to remember the name, even as they remember playing it, and I've had no luck or leads on finding it online. Not even looking to find it and emulate; the curiosity is just eating at me, has been for years.
Thanks in advance to whoever even takes the time to look into this.
