I used to play a game when I was much younger, probably late 1990s or early 2000s. It was a PC game that I think may have come as a Disc 2 to an encyclopedia or similar, but I'm not 100% sure of that. It was in the style of a board game, where you would pick a character at the start (I seem to think "swordsman" was a character) and roll the dice to move around the board. You would have to collect coloured "precious stones" by landing on specific themed squares for a specific category - much like the pie slices in trivial pursuit (e.g. in this game, the nature/science stone was green and you landed on a square next to a forest to try and win it). Once you had collected all the coloured stones, you could then go to the castle in the middle of the board (which had a black square in front of it), and IIRC try and save someone from a dragon or similar.
Some other things that I remember:
- The geography square was blue and at the top-right of the board, and the cutscreen ran up through this cave-type thing until you looked out onto the castle, when you would be asked the question.
- When it was your turn the game would say, in a deep booming voice, "[Character], Roll the Dice." Once it was rolled, it would say "Make your move."
- I think there was an observatory square for maybe arts as a category, either at the bottom or right side of the board.
If anybody knows what it is, I would be extremely grateful!
