There was a game released for the C64, wherein you played the part of a baby, lost in a department store, who had to search through the departments, from Lost and Found, trying to find his parents? ...
Was it caled Lost and Found? ... Anyone have any ideas?
Does anybody else have any games, which they used to play, but cant for the life of them remember the title of?

Thats right... 'Hard Days Night' ...
Although, I think the C64 version had the original Arcade tune?

Your "LOST & FOUND" game...
Would it be HERBERTS DUMMY RUN by Microgen???? or SKOOL DAZE?

What was that 'Elephant Never Forgets' company called?
I seem to remeber I used to see their ads a lot in the early eighties...
And then they suddenly stopped...
And I discovered, years later, that they had sunk all their cash into advertising in the 'Wargames' movie, and failed to get their required returns? :)

It true... they were the best text adventures on the market...
(although, for some reason Text Adventures are now called Interactive Fiction for some reason?)

Aye, true... it had to happen though...
Problem is... If someone was born in the year of the Speccy 48K's release, then they would currently be 19...
I'm just too old for my own good :)
As for your game, thats even got me stumped!,

I'm pretty sure it was a Microgen title...

Wasnt that an Acrcade game about a high school kid, Mikey, doing 80's high-school things, over several levels...

I have a vague feeling it sounds like a Software Projects or Microgen release, but then again it could have been something Ocean or Gremlin might of done.
Does the title "Mikey" ring any bells?
