The Inspiration

As noted before the primary inspiration for this game book was an old video game. It's color palette was bright and limited due to computers of the day. It made the house look like a few repairs and a coat of paint and it would be as right as rain. Minus the monsters of course. Also since combat was always one monster at a time against the player character it adapted directly in game play. So my first deed was to make the house more spooky, to give it more detail, an authenticity of the old age and a slightly different floor plan.

Here is a link to a full complete play through of the old game on YouTube

At one time there was talk of a remake for modern machines. It was canceled but test footage of incomplete areas was released. It looked good. Alas it was not to be.
