    HELP! name of this game?

    Hey guys, I've been thinking a while now about this game I played years ago when I first ever got a pc maybe about 1998 or so. I think the main storyline was there was this box which you had to make a combination of switches to change a picture and you teleported to that certain places, the start was you stepping onto a bus and entering a code to get on, you got the code from maybe a garden gate for the house number, the aim was to save your father or grandfather, you collected a silver coin to buy a newspaper, it was 2D, i also remeber some part of being in a hot air balloon? i cant really describe it much more . Does anyone have any idea what this game is called or have you played it aswell? not one person has ever known what im talking about ive tried everywhere!

    Anyhow, would it be Pahelika: Secret Legends?
    Oh, nevermind, that seems far to recent.
    I seem to recall something like what you describe but I can't find head nor tail of it anywhere.
