You may need to cast your mind back to a game called Bards Tale 3. In this game you were able to make your thief hide in the shadows during an encounter and with each passing round he could move an additional 10ft towards the enemy.
This game is ancient (I remember playing it on my C64), but I do not know of any recent games where you can sneak in the shadows as you explained.
That is probably why the recollection is so vague! The three BT Games are indeed Antiques. But they *were* among the earliest converted to MS-DOS. After having been poorly impressed with the low resolution graphics offered by IBM's CGA, I did add a SECOND computer to my electronic world, and it was a C64 (used, it came with a "300 Baud" Hayes Smartmodem in the collection of stuff -- and the rest is more history -- that bad boy led me to local BBS's and eventually to FidoNet).
I had BT-I for both platforms, but that one was such a big seller in the DOS form, that Electronic Arts quickly began developing from the start with MS-DOS systems in mind, and the rest of the distributors soon followed! (Which didn't make BT-II and BT-III work their way through re-writing into 8088 Assembly Code any faster!)
