The clues to the game title were in bold parenthesis, Danyboy. In Becky's story, they were:
-Parlez-vous française?
-ship with 2 masts, furled sails & sailors walking back & forth on deck
-Napoleon
-sewers
-love story
-Champ Elysée
-tall muscular man carrying the body of another man
-barricade

That last clue triggered it for me, but Shany beat me to it. smile

If I use this format again sometime, I'll try to explain it better.

The idea is that clues to "Name the Game" are given in the context of a text adventure.

You can participate in two ways.

1. By looking at the clues for guessing the Name of an adventure Game, which are in bold italics. LadyK has transcribed a list of all of the clues that were included in this last sequence.

2. By participating in the progress of the text adventure. You can post instructions related to the text -- to combine items that have already been mentioned, for instance, or to walk in a certain direction or to talk to someone or to give an item to someone.

There's also (technically) a third way, which has arisen in the course of this sequence -- you can post your guess at the name of the game as if it is (also) an instruction in the text. Sort of two birds with one stone. laugh

Are you now MORE confused than before? lol It is kind of unusual.

It was that 'man carrying another man through sewers' that solved it for me as it was in the demo.

This next game is somewhat obscure:
Talk to the well, and it talks back! (no, it's not your echo)

Could it be the free game called Knight's Quest III: Tides of Merania?

Nope.

This game was a commercial game but is now free for download. The protagonist is young and a bit of a cliche as far as I recall.

Near the end of this 1995 game, the protagonist's "girlfriend" gets kidnapped.

No, sorry.

The game is third person and somewhat cartoony.
The protagonist's age group is part of this game's title.

Nope.

Has no one heard of this game?

In the game, you have to stop a large fan and crawl between the blades.
There is a 1991 movie with a similar name.

It's a pretty forgettable game, I was having trouble remembering puzzles and plot details from it!

The screenshots for it look very colorful.

Here's a clue for one word in the title:
The End

Nice guess but not the correct one, Flotsam.

Second clue for another word:
A tumbling schist that collects no bryophytes
