PLEEEEASE help!
I've been driving myself NUTS trying to find information on the internet about an old game on this Amiga I used to play. I can't even remember the name so just to identify it would be amazing if I someone could tell me the name?
I only remember a few aspects of it so I will explain all I know so that I can help you more to identify it. The following may sound utterly crazy but as a kid it was so much fun. It was a kid's game, I can remember it was about a witch who had sucked all the colour and fun out of the world (I think...) by stealing a crystal and the 1st activity was to colour-in some pictures using a "click and fill-in" type game. I remember 1 picture was 2 monkeys (a mum and a baby on her back holding onto a branch. I there was a picture of a girl looking on up to a house on the left diagonal of the screen in the distance. I think there were a total of 3 pictures to colour-in but I can't remember the 3rd, I think it might have been a robin hood or something with a bow and arrow possibly?
I remember there was a strange part in the game where there was a kingdom ruled by a frog king (I remember seeing the frog sitting with a yellow crown sitting facing the screen) and he asked you to show your favorite toy to him and hold him up to the screen. It was very silly but as a kid you believed it.
The last part I remember you had to say to someone a password which was "Sparkleshine", in order to get to the witch at the end. I remember there was a "Tunnel" which you went through to the "Witch's world" (possibly) and the screen changed from pictures of a witch to circles displaying a tunnel affect by flashing (I remember specifically a tunnel that had the colours red, brown, purple and white). The last part was where you didn't know how to defeat the witch but someone (cannot remember who!) said use your magic eraser (and I cannot remember how you acquire it) and you rub out her face to reveal the crystal behind her.
That's all I can remember. I know it is a bizarre request but could someone help!!! It's been driving me insane! :)

I do not know this game myself, I do hope someone give you the right name for it. But I just wanted to say that I enjoy hearing the story that your childhood memories are so filled with Amiga related joy. This is how many feel too. Just thinking of the fun the games themselves were plus the social factor of having friends around playing them. It's a good memory. Remmeber playing Mega Apocalypse all night long on the C64 with my friend and on the Amiga we played Gravity Force 2 and Sensible Soccer. This plus lots of pizza coke made it a pretty neat childhood :-)

Some parts of your description remind me of 'The flowers of crystal' which I played on the BBC (24 years ago) - it seems there is an Amiga version too.

I thought that too for a second, BUT I sure don't remember any monkeys in Wiz Ball. But then I mostly played the C-64 version....

It's not Wizball, just checked both the C64 & Amiga version nothing like what the original poster describes... :)
Myself I reckon it's a Public Domain game aimed at young kids, seem to recall my daughter playing something similar on her Amiga when she was young. Need to dig out her old HD and check the stuff on there... :)

Yeah, it's not that... Thank you all for helping! You know how annoying it can get when you cannot remember the name of something at all!
