older 90's PC game title help!

Hey, I'm new here and I was wondering if anyone could help me?! I'm trying to remember an old 90's PC game that I used to play, and I cannot remember the title! I have a strong feeling that the title started with a "T" and had "Quest" in it, but I highly doubt it was a King's Quest game...(I could be wrong, but I really don't think it was). It sounds rather strange, but it was about a boy's quest (I cannot remember for what...) and he encounters many strange things. There is an old man in a log cabin that asks the boy to get things like roots for whatever he is making, and the boy also comes along vultures that tease him...I just remember it was a really fun game for me to play as a child and I really hope someone can help me out!


Thanks in advance!:D
 
I am not sure of the game you mention, but you may want to try heading to mobygames.com. The site contains listings for practically every game made. It is pretty interesting. You can browse by year or system it was on. For instance, you would have a good chance narrowing it down if you could remember with OS you used at the time such as DOS, Win3.1, or a newer Windows.

You can also simply type Quest in the search box, and it will bring up every game it knows with that in the title. I tried doing a quick browse around but didn't see anything that matched the above. You may have better luck though narrowing it down than me though.
 
Sounds like (The?) Quest for Glory 1 (VGA).

The man in the cabin is an old woman, but you really can't tell from the graphics. She asks you for things like mushrooms, troll beard and flowers, as well as a bunch of stuff for a quest. At one point in the game you have to get the mandrake root fro mthe grave yard and give it to the witch Baba Yaga, who does live in a log cabin with chicken legs. The vulture is most likely the gargoyle in the wizards tower who gives you a set of questions after you climb up to him for a long time, if you get them wrong he makes fun of you and sends you to the start.
