I think around '95 or so I remember playing a game on my Apple. However, I don't really remember a whole lot about the game. I remember the point was trying to find the "wise child" and there was a lot of searching along the way. When we got the computer it was fairly old, so the game may date way before '95. Has anyone ever heard of such a game? It has been driving me crazy for a very long time!
Got a tip for us?

I think the game was black and white, if I remember correctly. I would describe it as an adventure. The whole point was to go searching for this "Wise Child" which is the only character I can remember. I vaguely remember going through tunnels and possibly using a "honey lamp" or something of the sort.
I don't have a whole lot of memory about this game, which is strange because I played it all the time.
Hmm... Google is no help Was it a 2d or 3d game? 1st person perspective or 3rd person perspective?

I think it was 3rd person, and 2d, I believe, although I am not sure. You watched the person go through as you directed them.
ETA: Also, I think it might have given you options, on what you wanted to do as you went through. I'm sorry I don't remember much, I will understand if you can't find it. I just thought maybe someone else had heard of it and it wasn't just me!
googled wise child and honey lamp and got this:

My God I think you found it...thank you SO SO SO SO much!
ETA: I have one last question, if anyone would be able to tell me how to be able to download and play it on a laptop running Windows XP, you would be my best friend.
