What is this mess about ??

Review by The Dean of Games on 25 Apr 2020 (Rating: 2)

Written by Stephen Curtis in 1983, this horror text adventure is based upon the TV series Hammer House of Horror, which was as the name clearly implies, a horror show, but the game is more suitable for a laugh than anything else.
You start in a house where someone is held captive, your goal is to reach the room were she (or he) is and rescue her.
I was expecting a serial killer but instead the game features a big handful of monsters, such as Dracula, Godzilla, Sorcerers, Goblins, The Hulk, and a new found species a Man-Eating Toad among so many others. All in just one biig house.
You have the equal amount of objects to deal with.So it's a very messy house.

The game is clearly very amateurish the second you start playing it. To move you have to type GO WEST or GO NORTH, you can't just type W or N, or even just WEST or NORTH. This slows a already slow game because it's written in BASIC.

It's good for a few laughs.
