2004, developed by Melnitsa and PIPE Studio

Alyosha Popovich i Tugarin Zmej is a colorful and light-hearted point-and-click adventure based on the Russian hit animated film of the same name which features popular characters from Russian folk epics. The player controls Alyosha Popovich, the youngest of three Russian Bogatyrs (warrior heroes). Alyosha with the help of his mentor Tikhon and a talking horse (which also serves as a comic relief), along with other characters from the film, must return the gold stolen by Tugarin's horde. Along with typical point-and-click gameplay there are some puzzles and brief arcade scenes. The game is abundant with elements of Russian folklore.
