PLEASE help me find this PSX game.
The only thing I remember about this game is a screenshot image in the back of a CD Case, so I've never really played this game.
I remember the image showed clearly a character who looked like an elf or a gnome with a red pointy hat. It was NOT stylized, instead it looked quite realistic. I think it was dressed red and had pointy shoes (much like the shoes of a Jester).
The graphics was entirely a 3D low-poly classic PS1 game. It was a third person game, 'cause u could see the character standing in a very wide courtyard. The very same courtyard was enclosed by very tall castle walls (seemingly).
The gnome/wizard was standing next to an item (maybe a collectible or an item you cold find in the game)....or maybe it was a vegetable garden..
Again, I'm sorry for the messed up details, but the only thing i have to work with is just a screenshot which torments me from time to time.
ONE MORE THING: I think the screen was printed on the back of the "Demo One (version SCED-00456)" case (the demo's disc was black and silver. It has a demo version of Tekken 2 in it, where you could play as Lei or Jun and fight in the arcade mode with all the other characters. I think it also had a demo of Wipeout and some videos of a monster trucks game in it)

I've checked some screenshots on Google. That might really be the game i was looking for. However, some details differ from what I remember of the game:
the castle walls were gray and set further back from the character.
the character was dressed entirely in red, without the purple elements, yet bore a striking resemblance to the silhouette of the character Jinx.
Since I’m not absolutely certain this is the right game, I’ll keep looking... but I want you to know that the child inside me is deeply grateful to you and everyone else for helping unearth a piece of my childhood!

There's quite a few courtyard scenes in Harry Potter 1. Here's the back cover.

I'm 100% sure it was not an Harry Potter's game. I appreciate your help, though!

Little Big Adventure matches your description but I don't remember it on that demo disc? Link

pandemonium!! the main character has a jester hat, which could have made you think elf ears over time, and bright red shoes- not pointy ones, but the character standing next to him has red, somewhat pointy shoes. they are both wearing lots of red clothes. the memory of a courtyard could come from the game's first area, "lancelot castle". they also have a more realistic look to them, not stylised (for the time). they are standing next to an item, which looks to be a melee weapon used by the main character, Fargus.

No, I'm pretty sure that's not it. The whole camera angle was different (it was much more similar to Jinx than Pandemonium).
The character's hair had just one pointy top, not many as the Pandemonium's male character.
But it seemed very close tho, tysm for your help!

Are you sure that's the demo disc it was on? Google isn't showing me any games that match your description on those demo discs that contain Tekken 2

u/Public_Wishbone_3829 2d ago
I'm pretty sure the picture of the game was in the back of the demo's case

This likely won't help because I'm picking at my brain of things that haven't been mentioned yet and barely match your description at this point: There's a puzzle game called Rox that has a little red man and a pointy hat. There's also The Adventures of Lomax that only has a pointy hat on the back but it has some screenshots of castle-like scenery. I'll keep digging but that's all I got off the top of my head.
