Like another poster here, this was also MY first ever adventure game and made me an instant Geoff Phillips fan. Great sense of humour, although I never completed the game which probably prevented me from trying the House Of Death sequel. Spent many, many hours playing this with my bro, or (more likely) on my own. I think I remember VERY loud (but occasional) sound effects blasting out with no volume control and scaring the poop out of me.
My sister and I spent hours playing this and never did manage to complete it, even after reading the source code! Always seemed to end up getting stuck inside the mirror maze.
Loved this game, I always remember it saying it would take around 50 hours to play it to the end, I never did finish it.
Who remembers 'The Archers' playing on the radio.. I could never solve it. Even after mowing the lawn.. Loved every second...
I've always been a fan of text adventures and this one was quite interesting. Not a large number of locations, but plenty of objects and puzzles to solve. It was very satisfying to finish this adventure (eventually!). Keep an eye on that siamese cat!
first and best acventure game for the oric - anyine ever try the hobbit and waiting hours for those bloody pictures to come up. the best thing about this game is that it was written it basic so - press ctrl c (break I seem to remember) then typre LIST and the whole thing scrolled out in front of you. - I still couldn't solve it! the classic was the line in the program amongst hundreds of lines of data needed to complete it. It read 120 rem DATA nosey,people,should,not,play,adventure,games
My first text adventure game ever played! How many fantasy trip in the summer of 1983 while I'm tried to solve this game! GREAT ADVENTURE. ...remember....SAY BOO!
