Le fabuleux voyage de l’oncle Ernest (the translation would be Uncle Ernest’s Fabulous Journey, but I don’t think it’s been released outside of France)
I don’t remember much of the game but I loved it as a kid, around 9-10.
The game is about the traveling journal of our adventurer uncle: Ernest. From what I remember it’s like a virtual treasure hunt, trying to find clues to find our uncle. It’s a lot of minigames going through Africa, Istanbul, Borneo …
