Haunted House

[Pater Alf]

This is a remake of an old game for the Atari 2600 console. It was made for the RetroRemakes competition 2004.

The whole game is very easy (at least when you play it on normal level) and short (took me about 15 minutes to complete), but it has a nice atmosphere and you will probably enjoy it when you play it for the first time.

"The game's object is simple. Collect and assemble 3 pieces of an Urn and escape the house. To collect items, you must run over them. they will be automatically picked up. You can only hold ( 1 ) item at a time. so it will swap with whatever you last got. The Urn will automatically assemble as you get the pieces.

To see where you're going, you use matches - by pressing [ shift ]. To walk around use the [ arrow ] keys.

You can turn on lights to the house if you touch a lightswitch. This is an extra feature on the original, and the power to the house can be turned off in [ OPTIONS ].

The items are: Sceptre, Key, Urn pieces. The Sceptre when carried will make you invisible to the monsters in the
house. Becareful, as they can still hurt you if you touch them. The Key will let you pass through locked door in the house. The urn once assembled needs to be taken out of the house to win." (taken from the instructions)

Well it sounds promising, so I downloaded and it is a bit repititious, but I will give it a go.
