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! |
