Torins's Passage Videogame © Sierra/ Activision Blizzard

Torin's Passage is one of Sierra's geatest point and click adventure games released originally on PC CD ROM back in 1995 created by Al Lowe. It features the story of young Torin who has his parents abducted by an evil Sorceress called Lycentia.

In a bit to save them from their the clutches of Lycentia Torin sets out on a quest with his trusted pet companion, Boogle to visit different worlds in order to reach a place known as the Lands Below, an upside down place where those not welcome in the worlds above are sent to.

The game was originally created with children in mind as the main target audience however the game also offers some jokes and humour adults will appreciate too. The music composed for the game is incredible for it's time and includes music from famous composer Michel Legrand who has won an academy award three times!

The game features fantastic animation which still stands up today despite clearly looking like a game from it's time with lavish backgrounds and inventive ways of panning the camera with the scenic backdrops and useful object selection tools.

01:01Ow, that hurt. What are we going to do?
01:14Right, we need to revive Torian. Let's see what we can do. Oh yeah, we've got first aid. Let's try that on Torian.
01:21And Boogal is a nurse. Okay, he can be a nurse. Come on Boogal, you can do it.
01:52Aha, very clever, very clever Boogal.

02:46Aha, bingo. Okay, let's go. What's this? This is strange. I don't know what that is. A wind space?
02:55Sort of green things. What are those? Oh, we've got another tunnel. Okay, let's go.
03:05Ah, I can see Boogal. Hey, what? Why am I there? Boogal was in front, then there was Torian and then Boogal was behind.

06:08Well, no, sir. Not really. It's just that well, I'm really sorry. I landed in your plants
06:15It was an accident
06:16I only landed in that flowerbed because I fell out of that air duct that I crawled through to escape from that storeroom that I
06:23Materialized in from that phenocryst that I used to get here from isthenia. I didn't that is I oh
06:31Phenocryst you say
06:33Yes, sir. I
06:35Haven't heard of one of those being used in years
06:38Where did you say you were from son?
06:41from the lands above sir
06:43see see this evil sorceress put my parents in a magic spell and
06:49And kidnapped them and this old guy saw it all and and he said her name was licentia and she's from down here
06:54And and and that's where my parents are
06:57So I set out to find her and you know save them but nobody has ever heard of her and and well
07:02I don't even know if she's down here or or if this has all been some kind of and
07:07Geez, do you think you could help me sir?
07:10nice denture a
07:13There's no one on this planet by that name
07:18But whether you're a visitor here or not, you need to learn three lessons about
07:23tenebrous and me
07:26first
07:27Plants are very scarce around here and we are not kind to those who damage them
07:34second
07:35law breakers in my court are handled immediately and forcefully and
07:42Third one more mistake and I'll toss you right off this planet into the null void
07:50Now take him back where you found him
07:53And young man, I don't ever want to see you here again
07:58Oh
08:03Okay, well we've learned one thing about tenebrous you need to take care of the plants or you will be sent to prison
08:13Here's a dead long-stemmed flower on this dog plant surely no one would mind me pruning this
08:20Hmm wonder what use we can have for this
08:25Long-stemmed flower hmm
08:30Could be handy for something not sure what
08:34That's the courthouse in jail, I'm not going back that way
08:43Excuse me
08:44Yes
08:45Oh, it's you. Could you help me?
08:49Help you. Oh, I doubt it after what you and your safe like buddy did to my friends over there. Oh
08:57But I didn't mean to hurt you. I didn't know plants could hurt. In fact, I didn't know plants could talk
09:05well, not all can just
09:08exceptional plans you say
09:11Sure, I thought you looked special
09:14Well, yes
09:17What is it you need young man?
09:21I've searched this entire planet looking for an evil sorceress named licentia. Have you heard of her?
09:28animal vegetable or mineral
09:31Huh? Oh
09:34Animal I suppose
09:36Doesn't matter. I've never heard of her, but that doesn't mean she doesn't live around here. I don't get out much roots, you know
09:44You
09:45Is there anyone here in tenebrous that could help me?
09:49Well, let's see. Hmm. I don't know. There is that strange duck who's always recording odd crisps. Oh
09:57A duck what's his name? Where could I find him? No, he's not a real duck
10:03Don't remember his name don't know that I ever heard it
10:07But he might be down at the amphitheater. He hangs out there recording talent
10:13Thank you so much. Now, which way is the amphitheater? Oh, you can't get there from here
10:21But this theater which way is it it's over the slippery slope
10:27You'll never make it without a little help. That is
10:31Help. Oh, could you I'd be eternally grateful
10:35No, you won't that's just a cliche
10:38But if we could work out a deal
10:41Anything just name it
10:43See my friends down there those pesky chameleon silkworms are wreaking havoc on their leaves
10:51Now who's the cliche?
10:54What?
10:55Anyway, if you can stop the silkworms, I'll convince the grass to help you cross the slippery slope
11:03You
11:06So it's silkworms I seek
11:10Yes, mr. Short-term memory loss clear out those worms and I'll help you get where you're going
11:19Okay, let's see what these silkworms are up to
11:28Hey come back here
11:30Ah
11:32Right, okay, so they keep hiding how we're gonna stop them from running away
11:38Can we get you some of that no
11:42Sure about that each other think about how to get past that puzzle
11:50Ah
11:53You
11:56This tree's trunk is covered with some very sticky stuff
12:04Hey
12:05Stop poking me
12:09Hey, you can speak
12:11Although I don't know why I'm surprised
12:14Of course I can but what good does it do me? No one listens
12:23You sound discouraged
12:25Not so much discouraged, but sometimes I do get a little sentimental. Oh
12:32I think all of us do sometimes
12:35Yes, but when you're as well-rooted as I somehow old memories just stick to you. I
12:44See, well not to go out on a limb, but why not branch out into new activities?
12:52Well, you know, I can't just leave but I'm stuck here with a trunk load of memories
13:02What brings you here just looking for someone to bark at
13:10I'm searching for my parents. I think they were captured by licentia a sorceress
13:15I was told came from around here. Could you help me? Have you heard of her?
13:21You lost your parents. Oh
13:25Me too, I was transplanted at birth
13:31You know, my dad was cut down in his prime of life
13:36by a guy chasing a wolf and mom
13:40She fell in the forest
13:42Nobody heard
13:50Gee I'm sorry. Oh
13:54That's all right, I told you I'm just a little sentimental sap
14:01Look at me
14:03I'm a mess
14:06Well, you are rather drippy
14:12Excuse me. Do you mind if I borrow a little of this sap?
14:16No, not at all. Go ahead
14:19Use me
14:21everyone does I
14:23Just hope that somehow
14:26Someday someone somewhere will find some way to make something out of us trees
14:34And then they can cut us all down
14:42Oh
14:45What shame, poor tree
14:49I feel really sorry for him actually. It's a terrible story
14:54What shame
14:57I genuinely want to help him out
15:12I
15:31Did it the silkworms are no longer a problem, but aren't they kind of funny colored? Oh
15:37Those little buggers produce silk of any hue
15:41Just place them on a color and they'll make a copy of it for you and in silk yet
15:47But don't waste them and please don't drop them around here. Okay?
15:55Okay, so let's head to the slippery slope. Hopefully
15:59We will manage to get across safely to the other side
16:03Now that I've rescued your friends, will you help me cross?
16:34Not here, no, no
16:40No way, nope, make it toy
16:55Nope no way. No, make it toy. Nope. Nope
17:03No easily does it easily does it?
17:17Listen carefully, but click cautiously
17:25Okay, so that failed let's try again this time being a little bit more
17:31Careful
18:01Oh
18:21No, what's he done?
18:23He's gonna get arrested again
18:26Not good
18:28Okay, let's go and visit the theater
18:31And find out who we can find inside
