Mystery House

(On-Line Systems, 1980, Apple][e)

A Legend in gaming!...although not too recommended to re-play now. This was the game that a young Roberta Williams made, via the home PC her husband Ken brought home from work one day. The result is the world's first graphic adventure; the first attempt at incorporating a text adventure with graphics, which were drawn on the top of the screen as you typed in commands below. This concept would make computer game history, although it is, admittedly, quite dated; there is no sound, animation, or even color. It also does not have the timeless replay value of classics such as ZORK. However, it's a pivotal moment in cyber-history, no matter how dated the graphics look today...

Rating : Small Crater.
