Default Looking for an adventure game, help appreciated

Hey all
Looking for an adventure game, could you help me?

1. It was DOS/those kind of graphics
2. The main guy was blond
3. I think it was fairly long
4. It had gore that you could turn on and off

Thanks

That's kind of little to go by with. Any details?

Are we to assume 2D graphics?

Was it side-scrolling, top-down, isometric viewpoint (or other?)

Sierra style, Lucasarts style?

Setting - War, peace, future, past, present, jungle, desert etc.?

Just a few more details may be all it takes.

Ok well..

2D graphics
It was side view like a platformer but the game itself wasn't
Setting - I actually think it was suburbia/town/city. So present.
When you're controlling the guy he was about 1/3 of the screen high

Thanks again

A third of the screen sounds kind of early Lucas Arts, maybe. Does this ring any bells?



Or it could be Broken Sword Sleeping Dragon...

I would have suggested Space Quest because Roger is blonde, but the character animation is too small for what you remember.

Do you remember anything else about the story?

I think in the story there was people getting murdered with knives and guns etc. and maybe you had to trace down the murderers or something like that?
