Synopsis

While searching through some papers belonging to your late great grandfather, you learn about the treasures reputed to be found at the House on Misty Hill. You must collect 6 treasures and rescue the princess.

Notes

This adventure is related to the Silverlind release Haunted House.

The Spectrum version was published as a listing for ZX Spectrum in Games Computing Issue 7, pp.51-56, July 1984. The game can be downloaded from the Type Fantastic website.

Half of the map, and some of the related puzzles, are almost identical to Steve's Monster's Final Hour which was a port of a John R. Olsen game.

The game has been adapted for expanded VIC-20.

Barry Hart produced an unofficial port of the Spectrum game to C64 in 2020.

The game was ported to the BBC Micro by Lee Newsome in 2022; see here.
