Synopsis

Plot

The time - ten years ago... On an archaeological dig in Kashan you uncover a tomb of unimaginable age. The seal is unbroken!

After activating the ingenious mechanism of sliding weights and cunningly balanced and pivoted stones, the door grates open. The stench of centuries of stagnation hits you, as air that was last breathed god knows when and by god knows what, rushes out... Inside is a solitary stone tablet inscribed with a writing so archaic as to predate mankind itself.

Notes

Based on the stories of H. P. Lovecraft; in particular the novella The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath.

Originally produced as Kadath by Gary Musgrave as a BASIC game for the Altair 8800 in July 1979.

The Altair game was rewritten and adapted for the 32K PET by Robert J. Hennings in August 1981. That version was later ported to the Commodore 64 (c.1983) as Eye of Kadath.

The original Altair 8800 game was ported to the Exidy Sorcerer by Reni Barnes, c.1985.
