In 1987, during the great text adventure boon, Infocom released the immortal classic Return to Dracula's Castle, a harrowing and sexy text adventure written and designed by the now infamous Arthur Winslow. The game recieved critical raves across the board and would go on to sell well over 19 million copies in it's first week of release. Due to the sudden and enormous success, Arthur soon found himself thrust into the world of celebrity, a world which did not suit him at all. He quickly developed severe addictions to alcohol, cocaine, heroin, peyote, opium, PCP, and paint varnish leaving him in a constant drugged out stupor. In 1988 Infocom came knocking and demanded he make a sequel to his hit game, knowing full well of his ridiculous amounts of addictions and choosing to ignore them. That decision would come back to haunt them. In late 1988, showing up at their offices wearing nothing but a stained wifebeater and a massive stovepipe hat, Arthur handed them the disk which contained his self-proclaimed magnum opus and then prompty died three seconds later. After playing the awful mess that the drug addled lunatic handed them, Infocom decided that it was best not to tarnish the memory of the late designer and buried the only copy of the game in a hole far off in the Gobi Desert, secluded from man's reach.
Until now. A crew of excavaters recently unearthed the game from it's long lost tomb and returned it to it's rightful owners, the Natural Text Adventure Preservation Society, who managed to save the data on the disk which is why you are here today. That's right, you are about to experience the long lost text adventure Return to Dracula's Castle II: Revenge of Dracula's Castle, Arthur Winslow's so-called magnum opus. Is it a long lost classic or the final deranged work of a mentally unstable peyote addict?
