Inspired by Adventure. Blend of text & graphics.

"Adventure is one of the most facinating and challenging games available for your Apple computer. Winning is quite a challenge in a game where it may take hours to move and weeks to solve a puzzle. Hi-Res Adventure #1 ('Mystery House') takes place in an old house with many rooms. As you enter the house, seven other persons will be in the living room. Eventually they are dispersed throughout the house and you start finding them - dead! You must find the killer before he(she?) ends up killing you."
