Synopsis
Plot
Your day at the seaside has been full of fun and excitement, time now to take it easy for a while, the Waxworks looks interesting. You awake with a start, the cool and quiet of the waxworks must have lulled you to sleep, now you find yourself alone in the attraction's leisure lounge: alone that is, apart from the exhibits.
Notes
To obtain graphics on a Dragon requires the computer to be in Dragon 64 mode, otherwise the game is text only.

Nice setting and ideas, but unpolished. Seems rushed to publication, as it has more bugs than average for the series: the talisman appears every time we examine the altar (even if it has before, duplicating the object), the parser cannot tell apart both keys if they are on the same location, and it is impossible to use ATTACH as a synonym for FASTEN, despite it being on the syntax table, as the sequence ATTA* matches ATTACK first.
Disappointing end to the Mysterious Adventures series.
The end is really disappointing... I have to say I dislike the math question... Besides this, it is a good little game, even if the zombie trap looks to be randomized.
