Ye Of Magickal Artes book coded in red, red filter,
ingredients card (lists contents that come with game), and
additional instructions card.
Package blurb: Can somebody help me find my chest?
No really, I'm serious! See, I've been remodeling this cold
and moldy castle, right? So how was I to know that I'd wake
up Queen Emelda -- especially since the old bat croaked
hundreds of years ago!
Anyway, Queenie-baby wants to come back from the dead and
rule the world -- and the only way I can stop her and her
monstrous minions is to find a secret scroll of spells,
hidden in a big chest somewhere in this huge, 800-room
castle.
Won't you help your poor innocent little Mistress?
Yours cruelly -- Elvira

Elvira 3: Waxworks
Type: Interactive graphics/Point-n-Click/Music
Runs on:
Notes: RPG with adventure overtones. Uses the same game-system as
Elvira I.
Comments: The player has to explore four waxworks, namely Jack the Ripper's
London, a cemetary, a mine filled with mutants and a pyramid in
order to remove a curse put on his family.

Simon the Sorcerer II

Notes: Sequel to Simon the Sorcerer.
Another person notes that a company is porting this to Amiga
(1999) and rewriting it from scratch. If there would have been
a CD32 version that wouldn't have been necessary.

Written by Simon Woodroffe.
