Horrorsoft was really Adventure Soft UK in disguise. Tynesoft provided some of the artists for the games.

They are or have been distributed by Tynesoft.

Notes: This actually runs under the AberMUD5 MUD driver with a graphical front end added. It's a combination of graphic adventure and RPG.

The Amiga version comes on 3 1/2" disks. Includes 21-page Horror Guide manual, 20 page Emelda's Receipts & Spelles For 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 2: Jaws of Cerberus


Runs on:

Notes: Part RPG.


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

Type:
Interactive graphics Written by Mike Woodroffe.
Runs on:


Simon the Sorcerer II


Runs on:

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.


The Feeble Files

Written by Simon Woodroffe.
Notes: This comes on 4 CDs.
