The game "Haunted House" is based on the book "Write Your Own Adwenture Programs for Your Microcomputer" (C) 1983 Usborne Publishing Ltd (Yes, the main part of the program was written 40 years ago) I just added some colorful and funny pictures. The game is written on FreeBasic and works on modern Windows computers. (It was tested on Windows 10 and Windows XP).

Files in zip are:

house.exe - a game.
house.dat - graphics data file

The object of game is to walk in the maze of 64 rooms and collect and examine all available items. You can give a command to move (n,e,s,w), to interact with items (get,examine,leave,use) and some other commands. You must collect all items and then return to starting point. Use command "score" to see the progress of the game.
