About the Story

You have inherited an old mansion that is rumoured to be built on the remains of a much older building. The older building was supposedly used by an evil warlock and contains a fortune in gold that has never been found.

This adventure starts at the gates of your newly inherited mansion. Are you brave enough and clever enough to find the treasure? More importantly, do you think you can make it out alive?

This adventure was originally published in Page 6, issue 10, July/August 1984, pp. 30-34, 45.

You have inherited an old mansion which is rumoured to be built on the remains of a much older building used by an evil warlock. Legend also says that the warlock owned a fortune in gold. Your job is to explore the mansion and attempt to find the gold.

House of Secrets needs no introduction to regular Page 6 readers. It was the giant program from the special Adventure issue and was voted second in the last annual readers' poll. The Adventure itself is a lot of fun, but is let down by words being split in half at the end of lines and some nasty punctuation. XL owners beware! You'll need a translator disk for House of Secrets to run properly because the scrolling routine doesn't work with the XL's display handler. (There is a small bug but it is still playable on the XL and XE. Ed)
