I feel lucky to have found this thrad. I registered just for this, I hope that's all right. I actually have a few memories of this game, but honestly they may be multiple games. so really whatever seems familiar to the memories just post the names please... ^^;
I'm pretty sure it was for the SNES, as that was my main game system when I was a child, back in the 90s. I could be wrong, however!
The first thing I remember is going up or north. It was an interesting area that was filled with traps. there was a narrow path, like walking down an aisle while to the left and right were like cubicles, often times with boulders in them. Sometimes a boulder would roll down and you'd have to move into one of the the "cubicles". Sometimes there would be a step-on switch there which would trigger a boulder to shoot out from the side. I remember the character looking somewhat like Link from the Legend of Zelda but I'm very unsure.
Another memory I have is again heading up up or north... It was a bone bridge like place, and under was bubbling liquid. like lava or tar or such. I remember it was a group of characters. 2-4. I know someone was always following you. At the end of the bridge was a roundish building made out of bones I think. It was quote the detailed game, but I don't remember much besides that I loved it. I thought it could be Secret of Evermore, but the only bubbling like area didn't fit it perfectly, as I remember a distinct area with red lava you have to avoid, it was like puddles of it.
My last one has a word map to it. It was a group of four characters and the only thing I can remember is they were jumping from one side of the screen to the next. the left building or tower was collapsing and they jumped to a window to the next pillar. Inside was a king I believe. It honestly reminds me of final Fantasy but again I'm unsure.
Honestly I would love to find that/those game(s). I loved them dearly as a kid and I'd love to find them and show them to my fiance. thank you, everyone!
EDIT: I was a major RPGer and still am. I'm not sure if all of these are. It's always either adventure / rpg with me if that helps. But I can't remember battle systems well, so I can't help with that. I apologize
