A friend and I found this sort-of-primitive shareware game called Vampire Castle (v 6.0) and we're trying to play it to see if we like it. But there are 4 rooms and very little to do in them. It's one of those text-adventure-with-room-picture games like Enchanted Scepter, but the vocab of the game is really tiny. Is anyone familiar with this game? We need to know where to find a non-"obvious" exit, beyond which must lie the vampire in his coffin. So far, we just run around until midnight and he kills us. Dull.

Honolulu, HI 96822 > Grad Student/Astronomer/Diver/Mac Technician I remember playing that game a while ago- if memory serves, you have to get a rope and climb down over the balcony, and there is a room below it. I don't remember what you get, but eventually you can move the bookcase and go behind it, and break through the rear wall of the fireplace after you put out the fire. This will eventually lead you to you-know-who!!! Come to think of it, I never killed him, so if you do, drop me a note. I think it is a neat game. Jason "rebel without a clue" Osborne

Dull. Rebel w/o Clue: Try checking around the fireplace.... I haven't played it in a couple of years, but there are some pretty good puzzles in it. I've only gotten as far as the cavern (you'll see it....) Good luck! -shane " 'Haven't you heard? It's a battle of words!' the poster bearer cried.
