okay, i got one. stumped me, maybe you guys remember it, this is how a friend described it to me:

In this game, the player moves through an estate, gathering clues to figure out who killed the estate's owner. There is a garden with a stone wall, a casino, and many other rooms to explore. A ghostly woman appears throughout the house -- she is in fact the woman (with two first names) who sings the game's soundtrack, which comes with the game. Most of the songs are soft, but one jazzy one is called "Little Boy Blue." The game came out around 1995, and the box claimed that the first person to crack the game's code would be rewarded with a large sum of money.

i remember plenty of games that offered prizes back then, but i don't remember this one.

I remember asking this is a previous thread, I forget if I got an answer to it. I believe the sum of money was something crazy like a million dollars, and as well as being the first to solve it, you had to solve the game within a year. I don't believe anyone ever solved it. I think it might have been closer to 97 or so that it came out, but I forget the name.

aha, my friend found it on her own. was called treasure quest: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasure_Quest
